![]() ![]() Having been largely absent for an entire book, it is wonderful to have such beloved characters as Sarah and Ysabeau back in the thick of it. While we’re on the topic of characters, one of my favorite aspects of The Book of Life is that it sees the return of characters from the first book. ![]() Moreover, characters are given satisfying endings, with the less-than-savory individuals getting their just desserts. Everything comes together, and while room is left for sequels and/or spin-offs, no loose ends remain. Story arcs that have been featured throughout the series, such as the search for the Book of Life, are given proper resolutions, and long-standing mysteries, including what price the goddess will exact in exchange for saving Matthew’s life, are finally cracked. Fortunately, with The Book of Life, you need not worry about such things: its conclusion is both fitting and gratifying. Will all of the story arcs be given a satisfying conclusion? Will the characters receive the endings that they deserve? When you read a series, you become invested in the story, and there are few things worse in life than making it to the last book in a series only to discover that it has a terrible ending. Whenever I read the final book in a series, I am a bit nervous. TLDR: This final installment in the All Souls trilogy beautifully closes out the series. ![]()
