I love this series, but the ending did disappoint me. It makes sense and I understand why the author did what they did, but it still unsatisfied me. The ending felt rushed and anticlimactic. The previous two books were action-packed and enjoyable, but this third book was a bit of a let down.

Nice end to the trilogy. The end did make me tear up and left me with a nice fuzzy feeling of closure.

A very satisfying end to this trilogy! I absolutely adored these books. They’re full of classic themes, beautifully crafted worlds and all in all, are just fun books. If you like classic fairytales about magic and the fight between good and evil, you’ll love this trilogy.

This was the perfect ending to one of my favourite series!! It broke my heart in so many ways but it was perfect. I will miss these characters.

I’m not a literary analyst. We judge based on vibes and whether it made me want to cry, or actually brought out tears. 

I cried. I laughed. I felt all the feels. If I could give this more than 5 stars I’d do it in a heartbeat. Alfie and Finn have my whole heart forever and ever.
