I'm thrilled to have read this fourth book early. And I loved it oh so much. It is so beyond amazing. I'm trying to find words to describe how much I loved this final book. So far words are failing me. Because I simply loved this book so much. It was everything I wanted from a final book. Yes, it is beyond heartbreaki I'm feeling a bit sad that this was the final book in this amazing series.
Yes, it is beyond heartbreaking at times, and the ending broke me a little, but it was so perfect. As always, the writing is beyond gorgeous. And I so adore this author. And gosh, I simply cannot wait to read more books by him. I am just crossing all my fingers that there might be more books from this world, lol. There doesn't need to be anything else after this ending, but I want more. I'm hoping for that. But either way, I would read anything that Jerry writes and I'm so excited for his upcoming books.
The Last Spell was all kinds of amazing. There is so much happening in this book. And I loved reading all of those. I loved how everything in this series fit together. I love how all the books are from Kara's point of view. She is the best. Like the previous books, there is a journey in this one. And it is all kinds of exciting. I loved how much happens in this book. I love all the places they see, and the new characters they meet too. I loved the hunt for the first grimoire. So interesting and exciting and dangerous and just so awesome.
I loved every moment in this book. Even that heartbreaking part at the ending. And near the ending too. This book was actually all kinds of sad. And full of hope as well. There is more of everything in this book. And all of it was so amazing. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I loved every moment of this book.
And oh, the characters.
Kara is still the most amazing girl. I love how she has grown since book one. How much better she understands the world now and everyone in it. She is just the cutest and most protective one. I love how she wants to keep everyone safe. How she cares for everyone. I simply adore Kara. And her brother Taff is still all kinds of awesome too. He is so cute and still so smart and I love how this is his and Kara's story.
It has been about them working to get their father back. I have adored reading about their journey to do all that. I was a bit heartbroken that a whole year had passed at the end of book three, when only a week had gone by for Kara and Taff.

It was so sad. But it had to happen. And I'm also sort of glad it did too. It moved the plot so fast ahead. There is also more of Lucas in this book. And oh, how I adore this boy. He is still the most amazing. And I love reading about him the most. Him and Kara together is the best. A small romance in this book. It was everything I wanted it to be. Okay, I wanted a bit more, but it was so perfect even so. There is also more of Grace in this book.
I'm unsure what I think of her. I think I grew to love her a bit. But her ending was a bit bittersweet, but I think I'm okay with it. I'm a bit sad about it, tbh. I did like Grace. There are a whole bunch of creatures in this book. And I loved that the most. Reading about different animals is always fun. And I love how Kara is able to talk to most of them. My favorite was the cutie that she got from the Well of Witches.
I loved reading about all the creatures. They were all so interesting. Also a bunch of people too, that I enjoyed reading about. I do adore Safi and Bethany. They are pretty interesting. Then there is the villain. This woman was all kinds of awful and wrong. And I couldn't help but love reading about her even so. Though I did want her dead at all times. She did a whole bunch of bad stuff. I loved reading about how Kara was trying to defeat her.

I just have no more words. This was such a stunning finale book. The ending was exciting and evil and I loved every moment of it. The memory things destroyed me, though, and I'm not sure I will get over it. But it was so perfect too. I loved it all. The Last Spell was everything I wanted it to be. The perfect final book to an amazing middle grade series. I have loved reading these books the most. You must all read them too. Oct 16, Skip rated it really liked it Shelves: The fourth and final book in the Thickety series. The highlight of the series is the strong bond between Kara and her younger brother, Taff.
Together, they battle Rygoth, who seeks to reunite the four parts of the grimoire that belonged to Princess Evangeline, so she can become invincible. Grace plays an important role in the final book, and her allegiances always uncertain. I particularly enjoyed Kara creating a being from Taff's imagination in order to stop time. And, of course, Lucas cannot r The fourth and final book in the Thickety series. Aug 21, Alice, as in Wonderland rated it it was amazing. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

Edited a lot here just because I realized how stupid I was being putting major spoilers under a spoiler tag for an anticipated book. Made things more vague, may put them back after publication. I started it at work and I finished it as soon as I got home and man, it's a great finish. It's already in the hands of my friend who I've been gushing at back and forth about the series ever since its start. It con Edited a lot here just because I realized how stupid I was being putting major spoilers under a spoiler tag for an anticipated book.
It continues mostly everything I love of the series. The creepiness is admittedly dialed back somewhat to me in the sense that the book is more action-y than the others. In comparison to the first three books, which focused significantly on certain settings 1: But the creepiness was, as everything was, tied to moral ambiguity. Making the right decision, it turning out badly, but it not necessarily having been the wrong thing to do.
And plenty of that still exists in the book, and gives it that immense strength that the author has enforced throughout. One of the things I liked most about it is how free Kara feels in this last installment. Not that she isn't being chased by horrors beyond the imagination and so forth, but due to the events of the last book, Kara doesn't feel claustrophobic in herself. She has a new clarity to her decisions and consequences, which, even if they aren't the greatest, it isn't because it reflects badly on her , and she finally understands that after the results of the last book.
It doesn't give her a confidence that abounds, but it's definitely a breather from the first three. A character development that has made her stronger without losing herself entirely. I loved loved loved this message in 3, and it's nice to see it fleshed out more here.
My favorite thing about 4, though, is definitely Grace. Not necessarily because she's a poorly written character, but because through Kara I really just hated her down to the core, and didn't feel enthusiastic about seeing her again. She was a character written perfectly to hate, and the glimpses of her better character weren't enough to turn it around, especially when considering her history It's hard to emphasize how much I was with Kara in regards to Grace.
The immediate suspicion, the conflict, the reluctant acceptance but with lingering hesitation. Through and through I wanted her to be good, even if I hated her. This was an amazing series, something I wish I'd had the pleasure of reading as a kid so that I could think of it fondly not just as a classic but as a formative thing for me. But to read it as an adult has also set a bar for children's lit, a focus on compassion - not necessarily even love as it happens, but a wider consideration of people's beings and feelings.
Any hiccups it has and I'm not one to say that it doesn't are outweighed by the better messages it holds and presents. Aug 23, Ashley Flynn rated it it was amazing Shelves: Very satisfying end to an imaginative and well-crafted series. Throughout the series, Kara develops her powers as a Wexari as she works to protect her friends and family, defeat the evil foe Rygoth, and heal magic. The final installment delivers even more magical elements and tons of action while answering longstanding questions and developing the personal bonds that Kara holds dear. I would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone who enjoys magic, whimsy, or quality story-telling in general.
As an Very satisfying end to an imaginative and well-crafted series. As an audio, I really enjoyed the production. Moira Quirk is very talented and the various voices were well done. Nov 01, Nidofito rated it it was amazing Shelves: Reading The Thickety series was such a wonderful journey full of amazing sights, magic, adventures, friendships, and the everlasting message of kindness, bravery, and loyalty in the face of evil.
Such an incredibly imaginative world White has created for our young readers and I am so happy to have been a part of it! Aug 23, Amy rated it it was amazing Shelves: Very satisfying conclusion to a fantastic magical series. Such a tremendously detailed and well-thought-out world. The writing is amazing, as it has been throughout the series; there's just something about it that makes you so eager to read more of the story. This is the final book in The Thickety series by J. Our oldest really enjoyed the books in this series and was very excited to read this fourth book, and I'm happy to both catch up to her and finish the saga.
The story was very dramatic and has some surprising twists. The story comes full circle, with a former enemy becoming an uneasy sort-of-ally and beloved characters returning in earnest. Strange creatures abound in this tale. Evil combat ostriches and a time-stopping yonstaff appear This is the final book in The Thickety series by J. Evil combat ostriches and a time-stopping yonstaff appear along with old friends from previous tales. This conclusion of the epic tale has a lot of action, and far fewer creepy atmospheric scenes.
The ending is somewhat anticlimactic, but very satisfactory. In the final pages, I read how the author had originally intended this book to be a stand-alone story, but that it morphed into a four-book series. I think with some more editing, it could have and perhaps should have been condensed more than it was, but I still really enjoyed it. She often longed for the company of witches - the good ones, at least.
How could there possibly be any good in me? Easier to blame than to forgive. But good - good heals, redeems. That takes someone truly remarkable. Even bad things may happen for a good reason. They make us who we are, she thought. They guide us, teach us, and act as a comforting blanket when days are cold. Without our memories, we're barely even human. The trick is to use it well. Besides, this isn't an ending.
