A satisfying but unexpected end to the trilogy. The level of magic and knowledge culminated in this last book and it really twisted what they knew of magic and how it worked. As usual, the story surrounding the Last Contract didn't quite go the way I thought it would, or the way the characters planned but I liked the spontaneity and need for them to think on their feet frequently throughout the story. It added a new element and kept the story from becoming predictable. 

Jack and Alan were an interesting combination but I liked how different their dynamic was to the others. There were a few small moments of tenderness between them which showed their feelings better than words would have and suited their personalities. They definitely liked to argue and challenge each other but it made sense with their contrasting backgrounds. 

Honestly, just an interesting and unique series that never quite went the way I thought it would. The characters were all individuals but fit well together as a group and they all developed and grew slowly into what they needed to be.
