Another exciting entry in this middle grade series. This is the final book as Call graduates the Magisterium but I'm really hoping they follow them into the Collegium where I don't doubt they'll wind up causing mayhem.

Ein wirklich gelungenes Ende für diese Pentalogie.
Call, Tamara und Aaron sind einem über die Bücher hinweg sehr ans Herz gewachsen und ihre Freundschaft und ihr Zusammenhalt ist bemerkenswert.

Das Ende dieses Teils konnte mich total mitreißen, da es einen wunderschönen Rahmen spannt zu den vorherigen Büchern.
Insgesamt eine wahrlich schöne und magische Buchreihe.

This book, and I guess the series overall, is. 2.5 rounded up. I think there are some really good ideas bogged down by a weird idea of middle-grade humor. For all the talk about what makes us good versus evil, and what is life, what do we lose at death, the stakes never felt serious for what they were dealing with. Overall, I think each book in the series could have been a bit longer to expand on these ideas. And the ending itself, the last paragraph, felt really ominous for the end of the series. It just didn't sit right with me.
