The Final Days of Magic by J.D. Horn

4.0

As a thank, you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced readers copy I shall give an honest review of J.D. Horn’s last installment in the Witches of New Orleans series “The Final Days of Magic.” After following J.D Horn’s writing for nearly a year and a half I can honestly say this finale was worth the wait. Following the events that occurred in part two ( The Book of the unwinding) Alice Marin, and her family of Witches had a score to settle and in this series finale do we see what it has been leading to. The novel acted as a companion to its predecessors acknowledging areas of foreshadowing as well as areas filled with potential for more. As you enter this novel are you greeted with a list of characters and their various associations within this world. This was something I appreciated for there were many characters both lead and supporting. This often does not occur and is worth mentioning. The world of Magic and Witchcraft that J.D. Horn has created is something I have immensely enjoyed in these novels and is an aspect I looked forward to learning more about as each novel progressed. It is this type of world-building that captured my imagination and importantly my attention. This trilogy offered inclusiveness and made unlikely characters heroes albeit if redemption was their choice. This novel is one that should be read and re-read for I feel there may be an opportunity to return to these characters but alas is simply a fan wanting more. Perhaps it is best to be left where we are and know we can return to this set featuring a family of Witches in New Orleans once again.. Overall I highly recommend this and cannot limit my praise for this novel and important series. On Goodreads, I gave this novel four out of five stars.
