A perfect conclusion for this series. A whirlwind of emotions as per usual but a great, entertaining read nonetheless.

This was a great finale! I laughed, cried, was stressed. The poor Merry Thieves were put through so much in this series! I do think that parts near the beginning could have been trimmed or cut out - this book dragged through the beginning and was longer than it needed to be. But I did enjoy as we got farther into the book and the ending was brilliant.

I thought it was an amazing wrap to the series! Despite writing in the same world for over 15 years, I love that the author can still surprise me sometimes :)
