The Key by Mats Strandberg, Sara Bergmark Elfgren
5.0
SHRIEKS. This was SUCH a satisfying ending to a long, thoughtful series. The family dramas. The friendships and romances torn apart. The evils of bureaucracy and time-old demons and conspiracies and truths. From Ida to Minoo, everything about this was great. We even got to see some characters that didn't make it past the first book! It was wonderful to see them again, and to get to know them better than we were ever able to in the past.
So much of the first half of this is cryptic, and nobody knows what's happening except that the apocalypse is just about to happen everybody is freaked. We have invisible sisters and blank memories and fog that leads to different times. There's more discussion on what it means to be a natural or learned witch, and more on what it means when a message is revealed to you. Not only that, but we get an additional cast with their own incredible powers and unforgettable personalities.
Oh, man. It was just incredible and satisfying and utterly fantastic. I'm glad I happened upon this series when I did. It's made for some really, really good times.
