This book as an ending to the series was amazing! I especially loved the humor and even the bawling-my-eyes-out parts. (view spoiler)[ Rafe's death made me cry, it was so, so, so unfair. I mean, the world could have been saved some other way, this is MAGIC here people ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. (Ok, I didn't really mean that.)But NO, Rafe HAD to die, and to make it even sadder, he died saving Kate because he loved her. Wasn't that the whole point of the book? How love is so important? WHY COULDN'T HAVE THAT LOVE LIKE SAVED HIM OR SOMETHING? Poor Kate. Poor Rafe, with his beautiful emerald green eyes. :( Btw, extremely surprised (in a good way) when Beetles and Jake came back as old men. I would've liked to see a reunion between Beetles and Jake and Rafe, just to see what they would've said to each other. No doubt something about opening a shop of some kind. Last note- I thought that Michael's and Wilamena's breakup was very sudden. Did anybody else think that? After all they'd been through, they decided that they were better off as friends? WTF??? (hide spoiler)] I would recommend this series to all fantasy lovers!
