I think this is an excellent close to a delightful series. A LOT is addressed, introduced, and resolved throughout, so it’s definitely plot-heavy, but the characters still shine. It had the “last battle” feel of a good fantasy series closer, with emotions and tension running high. I will say, though I love the characters, I didn’t like the romance as much in this one. It necessarily took a back seat to the larger plot, which I don’t mind at all, but I didn’t find myself rooting for Jack and Alan as much as the other couples (though I was absolutely rooting for them individually!). Overall,  a great read — love this series ✨
