This book was meh for me. The cover gives off a completely different vibe from what the book is about. Also, the Harry Potter references have aged poorly and annoyed me as a non fan.
But, I did like the magic/ghosts aspects. As well as the main girl and boy staying as friends.
I don’t think I am the target audience for this book, so take my review with a grain of salt.

From other reviews and star ratings I've seen of this book I thought it was going to be a really bad ending to the series. But I am happy that I liked it, and I am satisfied with the conclusion of this quartet. It is sad, but definitely could have been worse. I am very happy that I can proudly say that this is my favourite book series.
