This book is so epic asshdhwiwjsj
Terakhir kali aku baca buku pertama dan kedua Abarat kayaknya ada lebih dari 10 tahun lalu, tapi aku tidak terlalu kesulitan langsung membaca buku ketiga ini. Pelan-pelan teringat kembali sama tokoh-tokohnya: Candy, Malingo, John Bersaudara, Christopher Carrion yang mengerikan dan neneknya Mater Motley yang jahat. Yang aku lupa justru betapa mengagumkannya lukisan-lukisan Cliver Barker, yang membuat serial ini beda dan menonjol dari serial-serial lainnya. The paintings are so haunting and breathtaking.
Awalnya aku berniat memberi 4 bintang saja untuk buku ini, mengingat endingnya masih gantung dan aku sendiri pesimis sekuelnya akan pernah keluar....... Tapi plotnya seru (walau ada bagian yang agak bertele-tele memang), imajinasi pengarang akan dunia Abarat dan makhluk-makhluk penghuninya sungguh.... hhhh, kaya, unik, luar biasa. Aku sayang banget sama Malingo, Christopher Carrion, dan Candy. Patah hati rasanya kalau cerita mereka nggak akan pernah dituntaskan tapi... buku ini so good sampai lembar terakhir, jadi kurelakanlah lima bintang penuh untuknya.

Definitely not Barkers best. This is the third book in a series that is suppose to be five and I think inevitable in a series you have a dud book. The first two books were very entertaining and i read through them with in a week...this book has taken me ages to get through because it just didn't go anywhere fast and felt fractured. I became less and less interested in the characters and their fate which let's face it why read a book you don't really care what happens. My hope it is one of those transition books ala Feast of Crows and the book that follows will be much more compelling.

Thus ends the saga of Candy Quackenbush. What a magnificent tale, told by a true master of the weird. The artwork is also otherworldly.
