I was expecting more from this. Especially being the last book in the series. The plot line where I thought there would be more time spent seemed to be almost secondary. The series was good, I was just hoping for a bit more.

In my opinion this was the best book of the series. Well worth the misgivings of the previous two books.

All I can say is ... wow. The first book was OK, the second book was good, and this book was absolutely awesome. Grossman really hit his stride with this one--fast-paced, interesting, funny, cool, and smart. The world-building(s) really came together in this one. Everything that bored me about Fillory was subsumed by all the freaking fantastic stuff about Fillory (badass Queen Janet, anyone?). Quentin finally, finally, grows up and becomes a bearable narrator, Plum is a hilarious and unique addition, and Janet and Elliot's friendship plays out to a T. Loved, loved, loved this book!
