This too, shall pass.......

I agree! It will definitely be one of my all time favorites. I just finished the last book today (after having gotten it Saturday night around 8pm), and I thought it did a nice job of wrapping things up. Some thought provoking parts, some sad parts, some "yea you got what's coming to you" parts, all in all it's a satisfying end to an awesome series. The only negative thing I can think of is it's almost too neatly tied together at the end, but then again, it IS supposed to be a children's book! ^_^
