What a cute and amazing end of this trilogy! During those three books I really felt a connection with Aria, who was everything I think an Angel should be. Positive, Helping, Caring, Adaptive and a little ray of sunlight in the three very different lives of three very different girls who all needed a little push to become the best version of themselves they could be.

Just like the previous books, this book once again deals with a theme that is probably very familiar for a lot of children, also for me. As a child I put a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I wanted to have awesome grades, I wanted to be the best in everything and just like Mikayla I started to forget what made me like learning new things in the first place.

I loved how Schwab handled this topic, how she dealt with the causes of that pressure, with all the things kids carry on their shoulders even though they don't have to, with how things that are said over and over again can leave a life long lasting impression and not always for the better and how not every girl is made to be pitted against others. The story really felt familiar and in the end once again the tears were rolling down my cheeks.

What I loved however the most was Aria's little storyline. She realised there was so much left to do and left to discover in this world and she also realised that once Mikayla would have found her way back to herself, she would be gone forever. I loved the small challenges she had to deal with because of this issue and I loved how Aria's storyline and Mikayla were so entwined.

I really really enjoyed this trilogy and if Schwab ever writes more like these, I'll buy them right away!

I read this with my ten year old son. It took us a few months to get through the trilogy. He loved it so much. He cannot decide which of the three is his favorite.

When asked what is his current favorite book, he replies, “Everyday Angel” (the name of the whole).

Último libro de la trilogía, me pareció mejor que el segundo pero el primero considero que fue el que más me gusto de todos ellos.
Esta trilogía está buenísima para lectores bien jóvenes, me hubiera encantado si lo hubiera leído de preadolescente, es una lectura sana, con moraleja y con el fin de reforzar valores

I liked this series more than I thought I would. It was quick and funny and I’d say pretty advanced so it wasn’t obvious that I was reading a middle grade book. At the end of book 3 I actually wanted more and see how Aria’s story would continue

Der finale Band der Trilogie um Schutzengel Aria war ebenfalls wie die Vorgänger wundervoll geschrieben und erzählt. V.E. Schwab versteht es eine Message an das junge Publikum zu vermitteln und es echt und nicht erzwungen wirken zu lassen.

A lovely feel-good series, perfect for the 10-13 age group.
In this last of the series Aria helps Mikayla learn to love dance-and gets her wings.
Follows the same formula as the other books, but good fun.

This was quite interesting. Mikayla didn't feel like a 12 year old, which is something Aria notices as well. I feel like these books are great for middleschoolers as all these books have a certain theme and I feel like these resignate with a lot of middleschoolers
