Jak ja lubię takie zakończenia! Przyznaję, że trochę sceptycznie podchodziłam do tego tomu po dwóch poprzednik, które mnie mocno rozczarowały, ale na szczęście się myliłam. Piękne podsumowanie wszystkich wątków, piękne przesłanie, że przede wszystkim trzeba być wystarczająco dobrym dla siebie, a dopiero potem martwić się o resztę świata. Rozwiązujemy w końcu wszystkie zagadki, które poznaliśmy w trakcie całej serii i jestem bardziej, niż zadowolona z tego, w jaką stronę to wszystko poszło. Nie będę kłamać - wzruszyłam się pod koniec. Poproszę więcej takich tomów :)
The sixth book in the series features four worried kodas, who are put under pressure due to many reasons. Predictably, in the end they all manage to find their silver lining. They each receive a letter and are being congratulated for who they are and what they do. To make long story short, the letters actually reveal the girls’ best sides and successes. Kaela is known for inheriting her grandmother’s writing skills and her mother’s deep passion for horses. Leo, her father, also encourages her to step out from the shadow and create her own path in life. The girl always wants to be proud of herself and I have to admit that I highly appreciate her determined personality. Meanwhile Trixie shows everyone that Siren’s Song, her horse, is the best choice for her, as the two of them make a great team at a dressage competition. Angela, the bravest rider at Apley Towers, becomes quite stressed out at a show jumping competition, proving that she is not always as perfect as others think. She has to deal with many frightening things, such as being put into the spotlight more than ever or facing one of her former enemies, Gemma Larkin, from her old school, Sagittarius Stables. At first Angela wants to beat Gemma, but her thoughts change during the competition, as the jumps keep getting higher and more dangerous for Dawn, her horse. Her final decision makes her stand out. As for Phoenix, she has a huge success with her play, The Battle for Bellatrix, after a series of amusing “facepalm” events. One thing I learned from her experience is that green is considered to be bad luck in the world of theatre. During a Lost Kodas meeting, Kaela, Trixie and Angela wish Phoenix good luck with her play. Ironically, they all keep their fingers crossed while wearing green clothes. As I see it, green actually brought Phoenix tons of luck. I guess her play wouldn’t have been so successful if she hadn’t experienced so many unfortunate events.
