irxren's review against another edition

The Mysterious Benedict Society is back for their third escapade, and this time, they're facing off against the Whisperer, a sought-after machine that lands them in hot water with the government and the villainous Mr. Curtain. With Constance discovering her mental powers and making a daring escape, things get even more intense as they're left to fend for themselves against Curtain's Ten Men.
The storyline doesn't bring anything particularly fresh to the table because the characters are basically recycling the skills they picked up in the first two gigs, and voila, they're overcoming obstacles left and right. It's missing some of the heart-pounding excitement and brain-teasing puzzles from the earlier adventures.
Despite these drawbacks, I have a soft spot for this series. It's like revisiting old friends – comforting and familiar. Sure, it might lack the element of surprise, but watching the characters seamlessly deploy their honed abilities is a reassuring experience. Not the most mind-blowing chapter in the series, but it's a cozy read that hits the spot.

Out of the three books, this one was the most heartwrenching. It's not my favorite but it was a perfect end to the series and tied up all loose ends nicely. Showed the true love that this society has created between each other.

It's another epic, action-packed Stewart novel. I enjoyed every single minute of reading the book. One thing I like about it is that it's not boring at the beginning, unlike some books. It gets right into the action, and ends with a burst. Wonderful read, definetly would recommend.

It was a fun adventure, but it felt long and less solving than the first two

Not as good as the first two, but still a good, solid book with a satisfying ending for the trilogy.

I feel like I need to give this a fair shot by actually reading because I just could not get in to the audiobook… all the charm of the first two but the plot was so uninteresting to me, like what even really happened??
