The ending was fun when Xar and Bodkin changed their child names (Xar and Bodkin) to Arthur and Lancelot!

My favourite people are Wish and Xar, because they are brave and defeated the King Witch. I liked that Wish and Xar’s parents fell back in love and there was an unexpected twist in the story. I would recommend it to anyone who likes magic and is above the age of 5.

My favourite person is Bodkin because he is brave and he invented a new weapon. I liked that Wish and Xar’s parents fell back in love and there was an unexpected twist in the story. I would recommend it to anyone who likes magic and is above the age of 5.

This was an amazing book to be the final one in the series. The ending... I was speechless and stunned after reading it. (Devastated that Wish turned out to be the evil Morgana.) I genuinely cried when I found out about Caliburn at the end. He was one of my favourite characters and I loved him. Still, I was happy for him in a way. Also at the start of the book, the whole Squeezjoos being evil and under the Kingwitch's power was interesting, as we saw him kind of try to battle the Kingwitch's powers and treat Xar nicely. Xar feeling as if he had no choice but to save Squeezjoos was really lovely, he learned to be less selfish in the end. And once again, Perdita snobbing Encanzo and Sychorax and this time Xar's brother was very funny.

I was really exited to know what happened next it's almost like I wanted to be able to read it in 1 second but still be able to take everything in.
