Words cannot express how magical and important the Fairyland series has been in my life. This fifth and final installment was perfection. PERFECTION. 
 When I finished the book, I bawled. I cried from joy, relief, strangeness, wonder, gratitude, and happiness. 
 And then I read it again. 
 Fairyland has become like Harry Potter to me. I have read each book in the Fairyland series over five times each (save this fifth installment, only twice so far, but considering it was just released last week, I consider this acceptable.) 
 I won't reveal any spoilers here, but all I will say about the ending is IT'S ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE FOR AN AUTHOR TO END THEIR OWN SERIES WELL, AND WITHOUT DESTROYING THEIR READER AND THEIR STORY IN THE PROCESS. Valente didn't let me down. Years of traveling with September had me nervous, scared, and anxiety-ridden starting the last book. Lots of series have let me down on the last book recently, but it didn't happen here. The unpredictable ending took me so utterly and completely by surprise, and it was so perfect as to be overwhelming. 100,000 stars. 
 If you are looking for beautiful words, an expertly woven tale, and the opportunity to visit Fairyland yourself, read this series. And then read it again. My life has forever been changed by it, and so will yours.
