A good conclusion to the story. I do admit that I am a bit sad to see it end already, I wish we got to spend more time with the characters at the end. Also feel like there could have been more to explore and discover, albeit not much more to the overarching plot. Overall, majority of the gaps and easter eggs were well covered - if you've been able to pick up on them as the story went along, that is.

The final instalment made me feel an array of emotions. I laughed, as I did whilst reading the previous two books. I teared up and cried a little. Whilst I don't feel like the sad parts were dragged out, the foreboding elements allowed the reader to anticipate certain things - which is where I found room to shead a tear or two. Rachel as a character began to finally annoy me with her stream of doubts - that kept resurfacing even after she'd apparantly laid them to rest. The other characters helped me pull through those chapters.

I don't regret picking up this trilogy. Brandon Mull has yet to disappoint me with his books. Fablehaven is still undoubtedly better in my opinion, but I am biased towards that series. If Mull ever decides to write other stories set in Lyrian, I will definitely pick those books up. In the meantime, I'll continue reading through his already published works.
