My thoughts coming into this book were that it was a nice little trilogy so far. It hadn't blown me out of the water, but I liked Sophie and her spunk - her sense of humour, and that she felt real. She was torn between two boys, she wasn't sure whether she wanted her powers, she was conflicted about her father and she cared a lot about her best friend.
This book left me with a sense of wanting more - I created a new tag, actually, though I'm sure it'll be used on other books that I read. I just wanted more.
When you spend three books building up to a climax, I guess I just expect more of it than for it all to be over within a matter of ages. Mrs Casnoff and Cal did more to save the day than Sophie did, I felt, and that disappointed me - I want a female heroine who kicks butt all the way to the end, and isn't rescued by others. I wanted to learn more about the Brannicks, more about the villains, more about Sophie's feelings about Cal and Archer.
I was also incredibly saddened by Cal's death - it felt like a cheap resolution to the romance subplot, which I didn't feel was completely resolved before this happened. Elodie basically implying that she'll 'wear him down' didn't sit right with me, either.
That's why I ended up giving this one three stars - it was good, but I wanted more from it. It doesn't disappoint, but it doesn't surprise, either.

Akhirnya buku terakhir seri Hex Hall, walau rasanya kayak opening buat banyak petualangan baru di masa depan...
Setelah dunia Sophie di acak-acak fakta kehidupan, aku bahagia gadis sarcastic dan kocak ini masih bisa bercanda. Dia agak drop dan terpukul tapi point utama aku suka heroine ini adalah dia bebas galau. Para karakter pendukungnya juga asyik dan memorable banget.
Secara cerita buku ini melanjutkan apa yang tersiksa diakhir Buku 2. Sisi action tetap ada walau gak sebanyak buku . Kalau di buku sebelumnya bahas banyak rahasia dari kubu ayah, disini kita bakalan shock karena kubu nyokap gak kalah mencengangkan. Walau alur ceritanya simple dan masih ada plot holenya tapi masih bisa dinikmati banget. Plot twist dan kejutan juga membuat suasana baca tetap seru. Buku ini membuatnya bebas slumps bulan ini. Yay

*Sniffle* for Cal, but I hope he and Elodie end up very happy. I mean it was sad Cal died but they deserve a kind of happy ending.
I loved it! I was so exited when it finally came from the library because I was waiting in a line for it. I definitely recommend this book. I couldn't put it down!

Very enjoyable. Satisfying end to the story but I was very unhappy with what happened to Favourite line "Ok Sophie Awesome Sparkle Princess it is". Also is anyone else curious about Torin and Izzy? I hope we get a story about them. I like Izzy.
Read it. Loved it. I think the first book is the best, but this one is close behind. I love Sophie and I absolutely adore her sarcasm due to me being quite sarcastic too. And Archer...I don't know what to say- super awesome as always. Cal. ..I don't want to spoil it for anyone who didn't read the book, but wow! Didn't see that coming! I was actually sad when it happened. Which is quite unusual since I don't get attached to characters very often... Anyway, Hex Hall is, and it will always be, one of my favourites and I totally recommend it to anybody who likes books about magic and witches. This one is mind blowing! Must read, indeed!
A witch book with no magic... Well this sucks.
With Harry Potter I wished the last book took place at the school, but with this one it just seemed strange.
Half the new characters were good, particularly
Painting dude and the youngest Brannick, Izzy. But Aisling and her first born had no personality.
(Spoiler for Hex Hall)
Is it strange that now that she's dead, I liked Elodie? She was just funny and surprisingly useful.
All the plot threads come together nicely though and in the end I enjoyed it.
