This was a disappointment following the second boom. Not as much character growth and more of a focus on Mo than Maggie which was not my favorite. Also less focus on Dustfinger as well. The climax and ending were just not satisfying. It was also incredibly slow.

Degna conclusione di una trilogia. Per certi versi il libro è molto più coinvolgente rispetto ai primi due libri della saga e non senza qualche piccola sorpresa, dei risvolti che certo non ci si aspetterebbe. Un lieto fine tutto sommato non banale direi.

I love this book!
As a child I read this trilogy over and over, having now re-read it as an adult I can only say it held up to & exeeded my memory of it.
I discovered themes and aspects that I breezed over as a child and would recommend these books to absolutely everyone.
Of the three books I would say this one is my favourite.
The pictures Cornelia Funke paints with her words... incredible.
Now onto the next book in the series!

Beautiful & moving & dark. Some plot points felt too convenient but a very solid series conclusion.
