5/5 or maybe 4.75/5

This was an AMAZING conclusion to the series and honestly I couldn’t have asked for anything better. It wrapped up every plot line, left everyone happy, and the last painting is just ☺️. Honestly this series does this in every book, but in this one in particular, every reveal or solved mystery is so good because of how it’s set up. Like there’s little details and foreshadowing and then when the reveal comes I’m like “how did I not notice that? It makes so much sense?” and that’s always fun. It really nicely wraps up every plot line and defeats every villain. We also got to learn more about Elsewhere in this book and that’s cool too. I also cried a lot near the end about one specific almost-death and then cried more when it wasn’t an actual death. Most of all, I’m just sad that this series is over for me because I feel like it’s always been in the back of my head waiting to be finished since I first started it in elementary school and now it’s over. I think that everyone should read this because the series is so unique and cool and fun and it’s just amazing please read it, thanks. :)

Don't want to give away any spoilers, so all I will say is that I really enjoyed the way this series was concluded. :)

A satisfying end to this young adult series. Some new characters, interesting enough plot, and an enjoyable end to the series.

Pleased to see the series come to a close, though I might have found Olive the most frustrating in this volume. I just adore the cats!
