The Conference of the Birds
by Ransom Riggs
I'm just...disappointed
This book is nowhere near to the standard of the first three books, which were AMAZING and what made me fall in love with this world in the first place.
The Conference of the Birds just feels flat, a filler book rather than a proper story. Don't even get me started on the Jacob-Noor romance, which I absolutely despised. It just fustrates me that Mr Riggs spent 3-4 books building up the relationship between Emma and Jacob, only to suddenly have it end, and a new, random bland character become the new love interest, whilst relegating Emma as a mostly ignored side character.
The only part I liked was Fiona's return, I absolutely adored her and Hugh's relationship! Other than that, the charm and character of the first three books is just...well lost. For the next book Mr Riggs really needs to put in all he's got to save the series, which I honestly have to say, should have ended after the third.
