Ok so let me start by saying I sure didn't expect to cry about this particular book. The last chapter really touched me, y'all. Overall this series is fun, if a little dark. I'd say it's for sure middle of the road for a middle grade novel, Sort of like a less depressing version of the Snicket books but with more magic. I am sad that we apparently aren't getting an Izzy and Ollie book because I really wanted them to get a little more character growth. I love them and I would have loved to have seen their depth. But I also think that it was time for the story to end. There were a few twists that I didn't think hit quiet as well as they could have but overall this is such a solid and fun story.
