It was a comfortable ending to a magical series. The start was a tad dragging and took me a long time to get really into it, but then the story picked up once again and I was eager to reach the end. These books were mostly written in a hard to grasp way, at least when English isn't your first language, but they were still so very well written that it just made the reading experience a better one. Challenging you to learn more about it. I enjoyed the books, especially this one since it's the perfect conclusion after the last three books.
