Information technology's been fun, Lockwood & Co.

From sardonic ghosts in jars to old-enemies-turned-friends, this entire series has been 1 massive journey that I'm overjoyed to have been a role of.

The Lockwood & Co. finale was full of action, fighting (against ghosts and people alike), fanTASTIC foreshadowing, adorable moments betwixt our beloved characters, squad goals (they are, honestly), and tiny piffling chefs chopping onions. Not literally. But my eyes did sweat a little, and that's what fabricated this book so dandy.

Spoilers! Don't click unless y'all've read the book! (view spoiler)[

(Alright, I warned you. Spoilers for the Bartimaeus Sequence are however hidden.)

1 of the really emotional moments was near the start, at the graveyard where Lockwood showed Lucy the empty grave (Meet WHAT THE Championship DID THERE) belonging to him alongside his family unit. This book was full of Lockwood backstory, and we really got to see how the events in his life shaped him. I loved seeing that side of him, and I loved how he trusted Lucy enough to share information technology with her.

When George got beat upward by Rupert Gale and some thugs, I was stunned. I even had to reread some parts of that chapter and put the book down for a second. It was at that moment that I began to realize this was the most intense Lockwood & Co. book so far.

So our pal Rupert Gale just had to go along and stab Quill, a moment that was also quite middle-assault-inducing, as Kipps was among my favorite characters. Again, I began to wish that someone would hand me a rapier and a few flares and throw me into this book so I could show Rupert just what I idea of him.

After he was initially stabbed, Kipps was pretty chill about it, having briskly stepped into the Other Side with his friends: Yet Lucy put two-and-2 together (with the help of the skull), and Quill realized that he actually had been seriously (peradventure even fatally) wounded. Thus began a heart-wrenching scene betwixt two friends that had previously been enemies, and it felt a lot to me every bit if they were saying their goodbyes. To peak off the sadness, he immediately collapsed as shortly as they returned to the living world. My eye proceeded to endeavour a diversity of complicated dorsum flips, and that little onion-chopping chef from before came dorsum.

Although, the moment turned briefly to humor when anybody idea he was dead and he was like
But he was still really badly hurt, enough for him to need surgery, so the panic didn't terminate there for them (or for me).

But above all, the ending scene actually got me. And this is where we get to talk almost my favorite character: the skull.

If yous've read the Bartimaeus books, you lot've probably noticed that the skull's graphic symbol is pretty much what would happen if yous took Bartimaeus' spirit and shoved information technology into a jar. It's sarcastic, witty, rude, and, frankly, all-effectually lovable. (Well, I think so, anyway.)

When we finally got to run across the skull's spirit in the Creeping Shadow, I had a footling freak-out moment. As it turned out, we got to run into his full spirit-form even More in this volume, and information technology was astonishing.

Non only did Lucy's friendship with him strengthen, simply the skull himself really began to evidence zipper to her. He wouldn't talk to anyone other than her (even when the squad was on the Other Side and the others could hear him too) and he helped her with her cases despite constantly challenge that he had no intentions of doing it for whatsoever reason other than his ain gain.

And then I really wasn't surprised when Lucy broke the jar (view spoiler)[similar to Nathaniel finally trusting Bartimaeus in the final volume (hide spoiler)] and freed him, nor when he stopped the couch from hitting her (and Lockwood, as well).

But when Marissa pulled that flop out of thin air, my heart froze. Lockwood attempted to sacrifice his life for Lucy, as we'd all been expecting thank you to the foreshadowing, but she wouldn't leave him to dice, and the skull was having none of that. He came rushing to her rescue again, even subsequently claiming that information technology had been a quondam thing.

And he freaking used some wicked Poltergeist-ghost powers to shoot Lucy and Lockwood safe from impairment, while the room EXPLODED WITH HIM AND HIS SOURCE IN It.

Which is when I realized: It had never been about Lockwood. All of the foreshadowings had been referring to the skull .

Over the final few chapters, Lucy carried around the burnt skull that she saved from the fire in the hopes that his spirit hadn't been destroyed, and she was clearly far more than distraught than the other members of her team. The development of her friendship with the skull was one of my favorite things about the series as a whole, and the fact that she connected to bring the skull with her everywhere (even to the dinner table, which Holly wasn't impressed with) was heartbreaking. I was mourning the skull'due south spirit right forth with her.

In the final scene of the volume, Lucy placed the burnt skull on her window. She and Lockwood had an adorable talk (which resulted in her finding the necklace that his begetter had given to his female parent, and he, in plough, had left for her). But, before she left her room, she saw a glimmer of light-green on the windowsill, indicating that the skull's spirit had come dorsum.

In determination, this series was astonishing, and the beautiful ending did it justice. This book was my favorite of the 5, and I honestly couldn't have wished for it to be any better. (view spoiler)[Although, a osculation would've been nice, just I estimate we can't take everything. Besides, it's obvious that they get together in the end :) (hibernate spoiler)]

Thanks for all the memories, Lockwood & Co. This series is one that I will never forget.
