I read this back to back with the second one, so they slightly blur together. I did really enjoy the series, and it reminds me a lot of how I’d felt reading when I was younger.

I liked the affection that was apparent through out the books, how the reader is lead to the prophecy, and that all the pieces seemed to come together.

On the other side, it often felt either rush or repetitive. And I strongly question why one of the smaller side characters was so prominent, and felt they could have been replaced by other larger side characters.
