Nayuleska's thoughts
Most of the elements of the story were unpredictable, making it an exciting read. Being the last book in the series I had a slightly higher expectation of the plot, which unfortunately didn't fully deliver. I've only read one or two in the series. Several of the plot elements were unbelievable (I use my imagination a lot, but the plot didn't flow at that point) or it felt as if the impact of the plot elements was lower than I'd anticipated. The ending itself was a cheery one, and I really loved spunky Kate, so this gets 6/10.
