The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart
3.0
3.5/5 ⭐️
Absolutely loved the first book, liked the second book, and thought this book was good as well.
Let’s do the positives first:
I absolutely adore Milligan and his snide comments while he’s fighting. Also love that Sticky has grown into such a brave boy — he’s grown so much since the first book! All of them are so witty, brilliant, and brave, and I loved witnessing their growth. All of the characters are so dear to me — It actually made me tear up a little at the thought of how much Milligan sacrifices himself to protect others.
Now, for the not-so-great points:
It’s getting a little ridiculous now that Constance (and Reynie) are basically able to read minds or plant thoughts in other peoples’ heads… but I still really enjoyed following along with their journey. This book actually took me a while to get through, and some parts seemed to drag on and on. But I did really like the latter half of the book.
Now, excuse me while I go pick up the final book. I don’t want this to end!
