First of all, three years pass between this volume and the last?? What a time gap. It does make the stakes higher for the ending of the series, though. War has been raging while Dani and Dorian are separated from their friends. And yet, they're all still determined to bring an end to the war.

I love the art style for this series, and the core group of characters are still just so lovely. Tone wise, this volume is quite a bit darker than the first two, but it makes sense as the characters are bascially all 16 now. They have grown up a lot since the first volume, and I love how it comes full circle by the end.

I'm definitely glad I read this, and would certainly recommend to those who love magical graphic novels featuring witches and found family!
