This was definitely the least lighthearted book in the trilogy, but it was still cozy. I definitely sobbed a lot at the end (and throughout the whole volume) and I loved every second of it. I genuinely got so attached to these characters and seeing them grow throughout the volumes was so heartwarming. I would read this series over and over again and it’s so easy too because the books are such easy reads (I read volume 3 in less than 24 hours lol). And though this one was emotional, I still had a lot of laughs too, which helped offset the tears constantly streaming from my eyes. And again, Míriam Bonastre Tur knows how to write teens!! Truly what sets her apart from other authors. Though, I do wish that Dani and Dorian were drawn a little younger because I felt like they looked 20 in this volume haha. The action in this book was also so good!!! And the romance was as cute as ever and I loved the inclusion of mlm :). I hope that the author releases more books because I will definitely read each and every one.

The art in this book is gorgeous. The paneling was so good;it was hard to tell that this was originally a webcomic. I do have a problem with the speech bubbles and the coloring. I think it's a good idea to color code speech bubbles so the audience always knows who is talking but I think it was not executed as well as it could have been. Most of the characters have speech bubbles that are almost the same color as other characters which defeats the purpose of coloring the speech bubbles. These aren't side characters either Dorian and Mark colors are so similar that I found it very easy to confuse them.
The world building in this series is one of it's best aspects. The magic system is generic but it goes well with the story being an interesting interpretation of fairytales with witches. I love that the witches in this story have specialties which helps brings life into the magic system and gives it a more realistic feel.
Most of the non witch main characters feel like they were an after thought. I think it's important that the main crew has non witch chacters in it but the story did not do anything with them. Mark and Aisha didn't have anything to do through the entire book. If they were cut out of the book almost nothing would have had to be changed. It's hard to call them main characters because they do not have an arc and they seem more like background extras than anything else. Will in comparison is way more fleshed out with an arc and is given some interesting things to do throughout the plot of the book.
The romances in the book are either forced, developed at inappropriate times or both.The biggest example of the coming at an inappropriate time is when Dorian is talking to Monica about how afraid he is that Dani will never be as she was ends with Dorian and Monica kissing. The conversation had nothing to do with their relationship but was instead about Dorian's relationship with his sister. So their kiss took away attention from what was supposed to be the point of the scene.
The ending of the war between witches and non magic users was fast paced and was not very satisfying. But I don't know how the author could have fixed that without compromising the point of the story which was the characters.
Over all it is a very cute story with some plot problems but great characts. I enjoyed reading it but won't be rushing to reread it anytime soon.

First of all, three years pass between this volume and the last?? What a time gap. It does make the stakes higher for the ending of the series, though. War has been raging while Dani and Dorian are separated from their friends. And yet, they're all still determined to bring an end to the war.
I love the art style for this series, and the core group of characters are still just so lovely. Tone wise, this volume is quite a bit darker than the first two, but it makes sense as the characters are bascially all 16 now. They have grown up a lot since the first volume, and I love how it comes full circle by the end.
I'm definitely glad I read this, and would certainly recommend to those who love magical graphic novels featuring witches and found family!

Despite some scenes from the original Webtoon being changed or simply left out, this last volume to the Hooky series is just as utterly wonderful and magical as its predecessors. Miriam has drawn such a fantastical, magic-rich, beautiful world which I'd love to be a part of. I cannot believe I have to bid these characters farwell. I will love this series for entirnity!
