[1] Writing [ edit ] This finale was everything a fangirl could hope for. Shannon Hale beautifully wrapped up such a treasured trilogy with a wave of her magic wand, sending me into bittersweet tears. She made it clear that this is the last book for this series and I will dearly miss the characters, the world, the overall story like I miss my dog. Until the reread. *three fingered salute*

Plot continuity. Shannon Hale's pretty good at dropping early hints of plot twists without being too obvious. And yeah, I missed most of them, so I ended up with a ton of "Aha!" moments. I felt like Miri's character went up and down and up and down. Like she cared about Peder and then she would love to be married to the prince and that was her biggest dream.

I love Miri for her cleverness, courage, vulnerability and humor and I love all of the girls of the academy, from shy fellow outcast Britta to Katar, the “mean girl” of the group. Consistently nasty as she is to Miri, it is ultimately revealed that her unkindness and competitiveness come from her fierce unhappiness on the mountain and her desperate desire to know other places: O'Malley, Anne (June 2005).

Perfect for its target age group (9-12) but just as enjoyable for the rest of us.
