I was so exhausted, I though a 1 was an 8! :lol:

So correction, I am on chapter 21. (Still not bad for a night's reading 8))

Still impressive!

I am on chapter 19 and enjoy it! The idea of Midnight lands is cool!

I like the mushroom spirit!

The more I read, the more I admire Vasya!

I love him! He's so cute!

The Midnight Lands are an awesome idea. I just can't get enough of this series, and it's killing me that this is the last book!
I literally have not been able to pick the book up today because I don't want to finish it yet. :lol:

Exactly the same place!


I hope to get some more read soon.

You said it. So. Much. Happened.
I have no clue what to expect.


I'm kind of wondering if we might get a separate series that focuses on Marya (it just feels like it may be being set up). That would be so awesome! I really don't want to leave this world behind.

I've read a bit more. I am so reluctant to finish! But I can't wait to see what happens!

This new twist is...interesting.

Where are you? I finished the book and loved it!

I loved the cooperation between the witch, the frost demon, and the chaos spirit!

I will wait for you to finish it before commenting further.

I finished. Just...wow.

I didn't expect any of what happened. I am so happy about Solovey! And the brothers working together!
I could note a few things I wish had been different, but it would be nitpicking. It ended exactly how it needed to.


I just hope, hope, hope we get further stories in the world. The world is too rich not to go back!

Also, I fully expect to be rereading the whole thing at some point. It's such an epic story!


Were you surprised about Solovey?
I wasn't really surprised, but I nearly cried, I was just so happy!

I agree!

I was very happy about Solovey as well! I suspected his return, but I wasn't sure about the way.

I liked the ending and also hope we get more stories in this world.

It was a great book and a fit conclusion to a great series!

He was very cross with her. Nothing she did without him was done right. She should have realized this. :lol:
Solovey may be my favorite thing about the whole trilogy.

I definitely want to reread them at some point. I just know it will be even better the second time. 8)

Indeed!

As much as I loved the series, I don't think I will read it again. I have too many other books waiting for me. 8)
