This was such a fun and unique trilogy that has such a delightfully tight focus on the journey of its characters through emotional trauma. Sure, there’s some fun with summoning demons and marrying vampires and magical goats and a possibly fake chosen one, but all of those fantastical stories are there to serve these very lovable and very broken characters in their journeys of self-discovery. I love that not everything is resolved at the end. There are still open questions. There are still ways in which everyone’s journey isn’t quite finished. But since they’re all still very young, that totally makes sense. It’s just this piece of their lives that’s done. And, at the very least, we know that they’ll all have each other.
