Such a great ending to the series. Each book was better than the last. The balance of magic and reality in this book is phenomenal, and something I’d love to see more often. Fiona’s struggle with self harm throughout the series has meant so much to me, and is great to see representation of. Watching Roe’s journey of acceptance of themself and coming out to the world around them was a truly amazing experience in this book. Then Lily, who had to come to terms with life again. And finally Maeve working to be less crappy of a friend. Each character was so rich in their development and personality throughout this series. I’m glad I decided to pick up this series.

I finished this book DAYS ago and haven’t been able to get around to a review because I am still reeling from it. I want more, I need more 😂 I am so sad my time with Maeve, Roe, Lily, Fiona, Aaron, Nuala, Manson et al is over. This final installment had me literally up reading through the entire night (also partially the reason it’s taken so long to share my thoughts- this ND 36 year old doesn’t bounce back well from that). Honestly, if you love a good witchy vibe, folklore, cultish stuff - this is for you.

there were a few things i thought were a little 🤨 (mainly an age-gap in a romance introduced towards the end of the group) but other than that i really liked it! excellent way to end the series
