Full (series) review up on my blog: https://chaininteraction.wordpress.com/2018/03/04/the-witchs-kiss-trilogy-katharine-and-elizabeth-corr-book-review/
Again, if this book had been the second half of the book before it would have been a lot more effective (in my opinion). This was the action I had been waiting for in book two. And boy is there action? There are battles galore, betrayals, plot, and plans. There is still a hefty dose of romance and angst, but people’s priorities felt a little more in order in the final book than they did previously.
This book does have a few strange elements of writing in it, for instance, they seem to travel into something of a parallel universe, but the mechanics of this were never really explained? I’m not saying I wanted pages of theoretical physics, but it does feel at times like the term ‘magic’ is used to explain away any difficult moments in the plot.
As a conclusion to a trilogy, I would say this book is on par with the previous two titles. They are fun to read and they certainly have a lot of the things I like in YA paranormal fantasy. However, there wasn’t anything that really gripped me about them? I’m sure most readers will enjoy them, but in a market crowded with a lot of similar titles this series didn’t have enough bite that I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Well that was a brilliant end to a great trilogy. It picks up exactly where The Witch's Tears left off and we see Merry and her friends fight to get her brother back.
It was filled with magic and adventure and friendship, and I loved seeing the return of Merry and Leo's sibling love that was sort of lost in the precious book. Some loved characters are back and sacrifices are made. It was non-stop, page-turning excitement with a few unexpected twists near the end.
I'm glad it finished the way it did, it made for a fitting ending and it was a nice end to the series which I've thoroughly enjoyed. I'm glad Leo finally got some happiness near the end and Merry got her brother back. It made for a brilliant story with some amazing characters I won't forget.

My absolute favourite thing about this series was seeing how all the different threads from previous books all tied together in this one. Unlike other YA fantasy series where the characters move on to new adventures and never mention what came before, The Witch's Kiss series feels very contained and connected. It felt really special seeing it all come together for this incredibly satisfying conclusion.
Merry and Leo's character arcs have been beautiful over the course of the series and Merry really starts to shine in this book as she embraces rather than shines away from the task she has to face.
I'm going to be sad to say goodbye to this one.

Such a perfect way to end a trilogy! I adored it and I've given each book 5 stars! Sad it's come to an end but it was a wonderful ride!
