EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something much spookier. Maybe the games scared me because they were visual and stuff. This book didn't scare me, so it broke its promise, but I did enjoy the little tales. It
well
cute I guess

Another day, another Fazbear Frights book under my belt. This one was, to me, the most gruesome of the three and left me feeling very unsettled—especially the final of the three stories.
All in all, not a bad book at all, and nice and creepy for this time of year

The first story in this book was good. Not great but still good. It took a turn that I was never expecting and in some ways I even feel a bit betrayed by the change. It isn't any fault of the story itself so I won't base my review around the change, but in a non-spoiler way I will just say that the cover is very different from the actual book. But for the story itself I will say that I think this story could have had another ten pages added to it, to flesh out the story more and to help resolve more of the issues in the story: such as pacing, unanswered questions and parts that left me wondering how things happened in the way that they happened. Some parts felt too abrupt and out of left field and I think that they could have been explained a bit more (to go a bit more into the problem for those who have already read the story, it is about the villain/antagonist of the story). That being said I still really enjoyed this story. The characters were a step up from the other books, they were enjoyable and were believable, and the character of Jack was nasty but in a way that felt real and not overdramatic. So all in all, this story is not perfect and like the rest of the stories, the writing is not masterful but is still good, and besides some pacing problems and some abrupt changes I still enjoyed.
The second book was my least favorite in the book. While the main character was still a believable person I found him to be too whiny to be enjoyable at times. At times it feels like the story around him is what truly drives this story forward instead of the main character pushing the narrative. I found his motives flimsy and his plan very flawed. While that was the point I still think that he should have had a better reason for doing what he did. Outside of the main character I still really liked this story, the atmosphere was dark and the brand new animatronic introduced is just so charming. He has a short appearance but despite it they feel like they just belong with the other animatronics. Overall this book was what one would expect from a Fazbear Frights story, a bland main character and a dark world that proves to be the best part.
The third story was by far the best in this book, an excellent closer to the book. Again it was not perfect, but it had the characters, the atmosphere, the motives and some great horror scenes. The ending was not the best and kind of fumbled the landing but in this one I truly think that the bads outweigh the goods. The main character is one of my favorites from the entire book series, she truly feels like a real person that is interacting with this world. The horror feels raw and real, coming from dread and guilt in a truly eerie way. It also has a truly unnerving body-horror scene that is the closest that I came to actually feeling real fear from these books. But my biggest flaw comes from the fact that the female characters in this story still fall under the 'she was curvy' stereotype that I am tired of reading. So overall I think that if the word 'curvy' was not used as much in this book then it would be in my top five since it has great scares and great pacing.
The epilogue was what I have come to expect, intriguing but short with some characters that I still appreciate despite them not being my favorites (except for the Stitchwraith. Stitchwraith is my baby) but I cannot feel like I can judge this story as it is still developing.
I think that this book has been getting too many bad reviews, but again that is my opinion. You can love this book, you can hate it, your opinions are valid. Though I see a lot of people accusing the cover for their problems with the book and I think that's unfair. But critisism is still needed because this book is far from perfect, with writing that could have taken a bit more time to imrpove, some bland characters, some confusing pacing and some abrupt changes. But overall The Puppet Carver is definitely not the worst Fazbear Frights book but still isn't the best. I still liked it and enjoyed each story, and despite my issues I truly enjoyed it.
