It was a good book

This was an amazing book to be the final one in the series. The ending... I was speechless and stunned after reading it. (Devastated that Wish turned out to be the evil Morgana.) I genuinely cried when I found out about Caliburn at the end. He was one of my favourite characters and I loved him. Still, I was happy for him in a way. Also at the start of the book, the whole Squeezjoos being evil and under the Kingwitch's power was interesting, as we saw him kind of try to battle the Kingwitch's powers and treat Xar nicely. Xar feeling as if he had no choice but to save Squeezjoos was really lovely, he learned to be less selfish in the end. And once again, Perdita snobbing Encanzo and Sychorax and this time Xar's brother was very funny.
