Initial thoughts: This was such a satisfying way to end the series! Bridge of Souls was imaginative, introducing twists that were more sinister than in the first two books without getting too dark though for middle grade readers.

Yet, what surprised me most were the repeated Harry Potter references, which I didn't think added very much for the target audience. I felt like that was nostalgia aimed at older readers, which was unnecessary.

In any case, the Cassidy Blake trilogy, made me think of Schwab's Vicious duology (written for adults) in that the main characters all had experiences with death, giving rise to their special powers and yet, their premises are so far removed from each other. Bridge of Souls understandably was nowhere near as complex as Vicious but I still found myself invested in the lives of Cassidy, Jacob and Lara.

Queen Victoria does it again! This read was full of excitement, twists and turns, laughter, and heart. My itch to write middle grade is growing. :)
