What a way to finish out the series. It was nice how it wove the previous books into the story so neatly. Maybe it's just because I don't usually read series all in a row, but this felt like one big story split into four parts, instead of stand-alone stories set in the same world with the same characters.
There are SO MANY CHARACTERS in this book, mostly non-human ones, but it's never difficult to keep track of who's who or who's what. There's also a ton of magic in the book which is a lot of fun. But the stakes are high and the danger is high and it's all very stressful! Which of course is a sign of how much I've come to care about Jackaby and Abigail and Charlie and Jenny.
Like the rest of the series, the book is also very witty and funny and insightful. I just really vibe with this series and I would be sad it's over EXCEPT I just found out there's a book that focuses on Abigail as the Seer. I need a little break from fantasy but I'm adding that to my TBR list ASAP.
