What an absolute ride from start to finish, and a wonderful ending to The Younglings story.

As always, Helena captures the essence of being a young adult and coming to terms with who they are, what they want from life, and the ever-devastating emotions related to a first love... with a supernatural twist!

If you haven't read The Younglings, take this as your sign to pick up the series. The Younglings follows a group of teenagers as they discover so much more to our world than they could have imagined, from angels to demons, to vampires, werewolves, and more! The Younglings soon find themselves on quests, helping ghosts, and fighting vampires, all while trying to balance finishing school and getting into university. This series truly captures the fun of media such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the drama and melancholy of Twilight, and damn does it work so incredibly well.

The characters are so loveable, flaws and all, and it has been an absolute pleasure to join them on their journey. Storms, Starlight & Magic is such a wonderful ending to their story, managing to fit a plethora of storylines into one book without making it feel too complicated. Helena has a great command of pacing, and this final book in the series is the perfect example of it.

I am sad to leave The Younglings behind but know this series will be added to my reread rotation without question. In conclusion, The Younglings is a coming-of-age story, featuring first love, paranormal beings, and the importance of found family, so pick this up if any of them are your buzzwords.
