This is a great end to the trilogy and a satisfying wrap up to the storylines. I still don’t agree with Toms decision but I understand it. And it works for the ending.
Overall this trilogy is an interesting dive into a unique world and really enjoyable.

A fitting finale to this YA series - I think I preferred to first book to any of the others in the series though. It all began to get a little complex towards the end.

I really didn't care for this finale at all. The one character I had still liked up to now turns out to be the stupidest one of all. GRRR!

sama sekali tidak suka pada ceritanya, yang semua tokoh utamanya gak bisa dipercaya dan serakah. cape bacanya. endingnya juga gak memuaskan, berasa sia-sia gitu. nilai2 moralnya juga gak terlalu cocok untuk bacaan teenage, mabuk, seks bebas, hamil di usia 15 thn, sampai mslh permusuhan suami-istri-anak-cucu yg menjurus sampe bunuh-bunuhan. alamak.... :(

This was a very fun and interesting series! My math-y brain really appreciated the Fibonacci stuff, and it was fun to read a series set primarily in Australia (because that doesn't come up that often!).
I don't know that I was ever, like, blown away during this series, but it fully kept my attention and was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Which sounds like damning with false praise, but honestly I promise it's not!! It was very enjoyable and really a great series for younger readers but it just didn't completely grab me and refuse to let me go. It was like floating down a lazy river versus going white water rafting: incredibly enjoyable, but not, like, exhilarating.
Maybe that made sense, maybe it didn't??? IDK man, I'm not a WORD MAGICIAN or anything.

While I zipped through this last novel in the Magic or Madness series in about a day and a half, for some reason I didn't think it had the oomph of the previous two. Maybe it's because the stupid DC Public Library system forced me to wait for this book for more than a year after it was published, and I'd therefore forgotten a whole lot of what had transpired, but for whatever reason, I didn't love this one as much. It's still awfully good, mind you, and it wraps everything up very tidily, with just the teeniest bit of room for more books in the series, which is nice.
