This was a great sequel to the series. I was so excited to read about this group of kids. I love Pao so much. I love reading about the folklore and myths that I wasn't raised with. I have to look up way more words but I can't wait to add this to my bookshelf in the middle school office.
I do not know how I should rate this. I will have to wrap my head around my thoughts for this before I actually write something for this review.
Again, [a:Ransom Riggs 3046613 Ransom Riggs https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1475462673p2/3046613.jpg] does it again. This third part to the series was great. Listening to this on audio was a delight. I was so engrossed into the story that I never wanted it to end. Can'‘t wait to pick up the next installment.
This was a very cute graphic novel. I did not like that I was able to predict the ending. The illustrations were amazing and I wish I could get some ordered as prints.
I listened to this on audiobook because I heard it was a full cast. It did not disappoint. I was enthralled into the story and was upset when I wasn't driving somewhere to listen.
Interesting
Without reading any description of the book I was taken aback immediately. Wow. Such an interestibg short story. Where can I read more?
This was interesting information but it was just that. Informational. I wasnt entralled with the events of the Bender family.
Interesting
Great read. Sets the bar high for the rest of the collection. Makes me want to look into the authors other novels.
WOW. I absolutely fell in love with this book. It was just what I needed at the end of the year. I really got into this because I was writing in the margins as if I was talking to the book. I was super invested. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
I picked this up on audiobook from my local library on the Libby app after so many colleagues told me about this book.
I really enjoyed this story. I figured out the twist before it happened but I loved the story either way. It took me a hot minute to get into this novel because it had been so long since I had picked up a mystery/thriller novel. I loved that the author frames the story in a Greek tragedy and it really holds up nicely. I hear that his next novel has a little crossover with this novel, so I can't wait to pick that up.
4.5 stars
this story was absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to continue on in the series and see what happens! War? Treachery? Peace? I was completely taken by the story. Engulfed in it so much that I was listening to this any chance I could get!
Tears, be ready with tissues.
Omg. Yes yes yes. Buckets of water pooled at my feet as I read the last 15 pages or so.
[listened on audiobook]
I loved this story. It was heartbreaking and filled with so much emotion. The ending was great though. I would recommend.
I think I would have enjoyed this more if I actually read it instead of listening to it while I was working from home, quarantine life am I right?! This is something I will definitely have to pick up again though.
Loved this
At first I was worried I would not like this. It grew on me. I cried on the plane while I was reading. It was magnificent.
I am so glad that I was able to listen to this book. It was incredibly insightful and heart wrenching in the struggles the addicted face.
This was a nice mystery novel. I went into this completely blind, I know! amazing. I think, because of that I was able to enjoy this way more than if I had watched the movie, or gone to a local play for it. This was a nice treat to listen to on my commute to work this week. I can't wait to read some more by Agatha Christie.
Listened as an audiobook.

I did not enjoy this one as much as the first two in the series. I understand that it was written to show how different Sunny is to the rest of the kids. It was a little startling at first. I think I have come to the conclusion that I do not enjoy novels as if they were diary entries.
Amazing
So good. Brought tears to my eyes. Love the story this way. It was so magical. I must admit, this was my first read of Anne of Green Gables.
This novel was on my radar because I heard Regan of peruseproject talk about it in one of her videos on Youtube.
I was really excited to start reading this. I skimmed over some of the reviews and was immediately a little worried because there were some mixed feelings for it.
The story started out strong, was slow in the middle, and then got strong again at the end. I felt like the middle was slow because we were going through Harry's different lives, and not even in chronological order. I understand that it was vital in understand how the end occurred. In the moment of reading the middle, it was just very slow.
I absolutely loved the story though. It was such an interesting concept of life and death, what comes after. It has been something I have been thinking about a lot recently, which had me a little worried about reading it at first.
I can't bring myself to rate something that I am reading academically. Just know, this was so good I am getting a physical copy.
Absolutely stunning imagery and the inclusion was one of great joy while I read it. I hope to get my own copy to hopefully share with students when I have a classroom of my own one day!
