The end of a magical, hilarious adventure.
While I am heart broken that this series is over, this installment is such a perfect send off. Hijinks from our favorite characters, growth for everyone, and new characters to dazzle the plot with.
Al is a complicated man, but not by his doing. Every sting that has been left loose in the previous two books is tied up nicely. The epilogue is beautiful, and perfect, and it makes soooo much click into place for his character. I mean I kind of want an adventure-less short story where he just has a nice vacation or something to explore somewhere he's always wanted to go.
Buck Foi and Nadia also get such a well deserved ending that I couldn't have predicted. So much personal growth for the both of them, mixed with hilarious break ins, and cult like adventures. Maybe a spin off series potential for Nadia? Like where does she go from here? Or the hobgoblins? I have soo many questions about all the world building we get for their race. I need more of their crazy antics!
Gladys Who Has Seen Some Shite explains more about herself, and we get to know Roxanne's new self which is a neat aspect to the world build since we've known that this happens. The newness of everything, and the well deserved justice spread through out this book is marvelous.
As a writer I adore how well the language is woven into this series. It's careful and with purpose, there is never a point where I'm like what in the world does that mean?!? So so good. I'm sad to leave these characters and their insanely hilarious antics behind. With that I want to add that my text to speech reads MacBharrais as Mac Berry Ice, and it makes me giggle every time.
You're going to love this series if you enjoy sprawling world builds, a plethora of magical beings and quirky characters.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book.
