A satisfying continuation of the story...Liked how in each of these novels you move on to the perspective of a new participant in the story, and also how species extinction plays a role without turning each novel into a polemic.

I loved this book for the house. The house was the best character and where the story shined. I loved the mystery of it and how it ended. The characters... could not have cared less about them. This might be due to that I did not know this was a part of a series; if I had read the others the characters may have been more compelling? I ended up skimming through a lot of this. Also, a private collection is not the same thing as a museum and the comparisons were driving me BANANAS but that is probably a personal problem (I have a M.A. in museology, so.)

I love Millet and loved most of this trilogy. But this one didn't feel the way I wanted it to feel. I guess that's enough.

Interesting. Fanciful and imaginative. Didn't realize it was the last of a trilogy until reading other reviews here. Loved the taxidermy angle, that's what hooked me and kept my interest.
