I just finished this book for the third time. This series will always mean so much to me and this is probably not the last time I’ll reread it. Thank you so so so much to Mats and Sara for creating this world and letting us all be part of it!!!

Amazing trilogy! Also, I believe the longest trilogy I have ever read but worth every page.

This was such a good series, with this book as a really great end. Just like with the first two books, this book was long but it didn't bother me. I think it did drag on just the slightest bit more than the other ones did, but it still didn't feel like the authors were just filling pages. In fact, I felt like there were many plot lines that were interwoven beautifully, it was impressive because it never felt cluttered despite the fact that a bunch of new characters were introduced and developed a bit in this book, alongside the main girls.

I loved how there was conflict inside the group.
Spoiler Minoo's arc in this book was really good!


I don't want to spoil anything, but this is an amazing series that people should read. Especially if you are into books about magic, girls working together, and books that aren't set in either America or fantasy medieval Europe.

I loved this book, and I'm heartbroken that the series is over. The story and the characters were so fascinating that I wished I could stay with them for a much longer time than it took me to finish this book. So much happened in every part of their lives, and how it all came together was pretty much perfect and at the same time very realistic (yes, I realise I'm calling teenage witches realistic). The only thing I missed in the series was more time with Rebecka. I really liked her.

I loved this book so much! It was a great end to a series and even though it was 853 pages long it did keep me interested throughout for the most part. I found the first 150 pages to be slow, so thats why I put it down for about a year and half. A week ago when I picked it back up it only took me a few minutes to get right back in to the world and be completely in awe of the world, like I had been when I first began reading the series.

Jag hade flera stunder med den här boken då jag bara ville att den skulle vara slut. Men dom varade inte så länge, ungefär halvvägs in i boken började jag bli duktigt trött på Linnea, i den första boken tyckte jag att hon var en jobbig karaktär sen började jag gilla henne mer och mer... Men sen när hon böjde jämförelse andras olycka med sin egna och använda sitt förflutna som en ursäkt/anledning att vara på ett vist sätt så tröttnade jag på henne. Samt som jag tyckte att boken tog några onödiga vändningar, men jag älskade hela den här trilogin ändå, även ifall jag inte gillade hur de slutade. Jag skulle verkligen vilja se/läsa en uppföljare.

I think this book is a perfect example of how things get bad before they get good - the book was so slow for so long, which made it hard to want to read, but then BAAAAAAAAM! Amazing.

For being a very big book it was so intense and full of turns! You never really knew what was coming and I've read 845 pages in 5 days. So there it is. Man, I love the characters. So much. A wonderful trilogy. I love it.
