This book was very good at the start. Kinda predictable but idc. I did not understand anything that happened at the last quarter of the book. It was very confusing and too fast to understand, a little forced...I think that I really like the ending. Simple, hopeful, free)

This book was a fucking amazing read. I am still in shock and it makes me want to reread the entire series I'm just stunned by how beautiful this was. No words, just go read it and experience the magic of it all.

This series was really lovely to read.  All the characters were written well, with details that brought them to life more and more with each chapter.  The plot was good and I really enjoyed the writing style.  In the re-read though I’m kinda disappointed there isn’t more, the ending just wasn’t as satisfying as I remember it.  The ending of this book isn’t bad it just feels like there could have been more, either way I loved this series and it’s definitely a comfort to read.
