The mystery and adventure were very fun in this one, but the way some of the characters behaved (mostly charlie and clay) lowkey drove me nuts at times

i liked the first one way more. hopefully the last book will be better. this was just kinda boring, but it wasn't terrible. i mean, it's a fnaf book, so it's not going to be amazing, but it was still enjoyable for what it was.

"The Twisted Ones" is written in a similar style to the first book, with short, fast-paced chapters and a tense, suspenseful atmosphere. The characters are well-developed, and their relationships with each other are complex and interesting. The horror elements are well-done, with plenty of creepy imagery and jump scares to keep readers on edge.
One of the strengths of the book is its exploration of the themes of family, identity, and trauma. Charlie is still grappling with the aftermath of her father's crimes and the trauma she experienced as a child, and these issues are explored in a thoughtful and nuanced way. The book also delves deeper into the mythology of the Five Nights at Freddy's universe, revealing new information about the animatronic characters and their origins which, as a massive FNaF lore nerd, I adore.
Overall, "The Twisted Ones" is a strong follow-up to "The Silver Eyes" that delivers on the scares and adds depth to the series' mythos. It will appeal to fans of horror and the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise alike, as well as readers who enjoy character-driven stories with themes of trauma and identity.
