I will be interested to see how I feel about this book. When I first read it as a child, most of the romance went over my head. Now I am older (a so-called grown-up at 51), I wonder what I will think?
So far, so good...

Can you believe that this is the final book about Katy? I wish it wasn't. Katy is an inspiration to me and her lovely personality is just incredible!!!!

Not as enjoyable as the first two -- Katy becomes less interesting as she becomes more "perfect."

khchristensen's review against another edition
Uhhhh. Yeah I haven't actually read this book, but it serves as a decoration in my home. I might read it someday, but it's not really something I'd put on a "to-read" list, so here we are. PS The version I have has a way better cover. This one is lame.

Sadly this was really boring compared to the previous books. Nice to see Rose Red again, but otherwise it was an endless list of things in Europe that are pretty and descriptions of an ill child complaining about being ill.
I did like the part where Amy asked Katy to tell her a story, and the story she told was "Once upon a time there were two little girls, and they were horrible smashed to death, the end".

Favourite quote -
With a half-happy, half-tearful pleasure Katy recognized the fact that distance counts for little if people love one another, and that hearts have a telegraph of their own whose messages are as sure and swift as any of those sent over the material lines which link continent to continent and shore with shore.

I liked this book the best of the three I've read so far. It wasn't as saccharine and didactic as the others (though, it had its moments). Katy had a lot of snark for a character written back in the day; I particularly enjoyed how she "finished" her story about Violet and Emma. I won't lie, though--Amy was a spoiled little brat, and I probably would've smacked her at some point during the trip.
On the whole, an enjoyable book.
