When I picked up this series 6 years ago, I instantly fell in love with the story and the characters. It was funny and charming! It quickly became one of my favorite series.

However, I found the last two books to be a bit of a disappointment. In my opinion, none of the characters matured and developped much and some of the events in the last two books of the series were extremely unrealistic.
*Small spoilers ahead.

In this book, it really pissed me off when Connor and his friends climbed up into Central Park from the tunnels, because Connor comments on how weird it was that it took his friends 5 minutes to follow him yet he does nothing about it!!! He's been dealing with magic for 4 years yet doesn't think this is weird at all?!?! Especially when Red respond saying that they were right behind him... Another thing, I get that Goldilocks and Jack are strong and adventurous people, but really, bringing an 8 day old baby across the country to fight an evil army and not expect anything bad to happen.... It just seemed useless to bring the baby along.

It's little things like this that made it hard for me to truly immerse myself in Colfer's story. None of it seemed realistic... I was a bit disappointed in the ending after the first 4 books were such an amazing read.

Confusing set up. Ending not satisfying. Just meh.

The best part of the series:

"Happily ever does exist, it's just not what you think...Happily ever after isn't a solution to life's problems or a guarantee that life will be easy, it's a promise we make ourselves to always live our best lives, despite whatever circumstance comes our way. When we focus on joy in times of heartbreak, when we choose to laugh on the days it's hard to smile, and when we count our blessings over our losses- that's what a true happily ever after is all about."
