Such a good ending to this series!! I started it on Friday and unfortunately with the long weekend, couldn't finish until today, Tuesday. I spent all weekend wondering what would happen next and finally sitting down to finish was so exciting.

This book is definitely darker and less humorous than the previous books, but I think that's what makes it my favorite in the series. Right off the bat it is emotional, tearjerkers in the first couple of chapters that honestly do not end throughout the book. The mixture of action, plot progression and staying true to character development felt perfect, and I never found myself getting bored.

Overall this series was a lot of fun, and while I had many chances to read it in my childhood, I say better late than never. Highly recommend for a quick series you can finish in a week or two.
