Not my favorite of the series, but still really really enjoyable. I'm so excited for the next one.

"Nightlight, bright light,
Sweet dreams I bestow.
Sleep tight, all night,
Forever I will glow."
(p. 177) ^Sing to the kids

"'North loves their chocolate and vanilla Moon cookies,' blurted William the Absolute Youngest. 'White on one side, dark on the other.'" (p. 191) <- Must make these

Nem hiszem el... hogy lehet ezt így befejezni? ;w; És ki tudja, mikor jön a következő rész... Q.Q
Egyébként meg imádtam, főleg Pitch történetét, plusz az Északi Sarkon lévő építkezést, meg az északi fényt.
Na meg persze Nightlightot.
Meg Sandyt.
Á, fenébe, az egész könyvet, és mindenkit :D

I finally got to the fourth book, and it was my favorite one. I'll admit that the ending was a bit anti-climatic, but I still loved it. It went deep into the story telling of the characters, and showed very dark histories that I wasn't expecting. I found myself near tears at a few points, which is surprising in a children's book. I loved this addition to the series and highly anticipate the last one.

Wow, I loved this book. I really love how these books delve into the backstories of different characters and also I love how incredibly dark the series is. Like, there's a scene in this book where a bunch of people get beheaded. And the nightmares. Aw, man...

Also, I had no idea that there was actually ANOTHER book after this one in the series. I had it in my head that this was the last one. But apparently the 5th one is coming out this October. And it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. Go figure. Can't wait to read the next one!
