The Last Ex Libris, Because We Weren't Done Talking About It

Five moons wasn't enough space to say everything we wanted to about the ending. Full review is up if you want the long version.

What We'd Read Next

If you finished it and need somewhere to put the feelings, the Grimoire has a few more dark-academia-adjacent picks. We recommend reading them with a very large pot of tea.
