It may be the biologist in me, but I loved loved loved this book. Briar and Rosethorn are also quickly becoming my favourites. And Crane, just a tad.

The fourth book in the series was a bit slower paced to me that the other books. I also thought that Briar's great feat in the book, while impressive, was less so than those of the other three books. It was still a good end to the series.

This was my favorite Circle of Magic book. Mostly they're just very comfortable to read, but this one had a grip on my emotions.
Listening to these books is really a pleasure.

This is the closer for the Circle of Magic series, and is my second favorite of the series. I love the interaction between Briar and Rosethorn. The sudden epidemic they are dealing with feels very real (especially in the wake of the one we all recently dealt with), as well as the way it is treated. The moments Briar has with his friend Flick are sweet. The depth of Briars dive into what his magic is is so interesting and neat. I just love this series.
I don't really have many dislikes. This is a great series, and is appropriate for most ages.
