Lisa Mantchev created a very beautiful and imaginative world with the Theatre Illuminata trilogy and So Silver Bright was a great ending to the story. After freeing Nate from Sedna the Sea Queen, Bertie now wants to take her father back home to her mother Ophelia, nut he's disappeared. Regardless, Bertie is still determined to reunite her family along the way we get the same magical creatures and journey that began in Eyes Like Stars. 
 I thought this was a wonderful ending to the story. Everything gets tied up, and even though it's sort of an open ending, the outlook is positive. Bertie has always, in my opinion, been a very strong female character. Even when she's afraid she doesn't let her fear take her over and keep her from defeating her foes. 
 This series is one that needs to be read very carefully. The changing scenery can sometimes be there and gone in a flash and if you're not paying attention the reader could get lost, but overlla it's completely worth it because everything is so very descriptive and fresh. I've not ead another series like this one before and they all need to be read through in order to tie everything together. 
 As for the romantic element, I guess some would say it was a cop out. Bertie doesn't really have to make the choice as much as the choice is made for her, but in this case I think that's the way it had to be and I think Mantchev did a great job figuring it all out. It just seemed right at the end. 
 This will defintely be a series that I come back to again and one that I highley recommend to readers who are looking for something a little different. I'm a little sad that it's over, but again a play is told in three acts and this is the end.
