3.0
Note: This is the 3rd book in a trilogy, there will inherently be spoilers.
General Description:
May Bird is now 13 years old. She's been away from the Ever After for 3 years. When she receives a phone call where she swears it's Pumpkin, she has no choice but to go back. However, the Ever After is more deserted than ever. Can she and Somber Kitty find their old friends and take on Evil Bo Cleevile?
The enjoyable:
- I love the Ever After as a world, I would go back into that world any time.
- We get to explore more of the Ever After than we ever have and the side characters you meet, and the descriptions of the world, are thrilling.
- It was pretty quickly paced.
The loss of 2 stars:
- I don't really feel this is a great resolution to a series. It felt like a disjointed story.
- This also felt very rushed. We hear about Bo Cleevil for like all the books and the showdown between May and Bo lasts I think less than 10 pages, which I just don't think does it justice.
Overall: If you're okay with open endings, you could just skip this book and stick with the first 2 in a series. However, if you do want to finish the trilogy, I think there's no harm in reading it.
