Terrible way to end this misery of a trilogy. I honestly don't know if I hated it so much bcz of the missing attributes or if I wasn't really in the mood to read them .

I'll be giving them a re read (eventually ).

Diosito qué acabo de leer.

Desde Sanctum tenía en mi mente alojado este pensamiento que no podía sacarme de encima: "el problema con estos libros es el marketing, se promocionan como algo que no son. La portada y las sinopsis sugieren algo que nada tiene que ver con el verdadero contenido de las historias", pero ya en esta parte final termino de convencerme que esta trilogía de Madeleine Roux es una completa ensalada sin pies ni cabeza.

Asylum trata de un instituto que alguna vez alojó psicópatas y sujetos trastornados. Sanctum trata de una secta universitaria que hace lavado de cerebro e hipnosis. Catacomb trata de una farmacéutica ilícita que distribuía drogas en mal estado y de una agrupación secreta que usa huesos y partes humanas para robar identidades... ¿Y yo me digo kieeee?

¡Nada conecta y nada se resuelve jamás! ¿Qué pasó con las visiones de Dan? ¿Qué pasó con Félix? ¿Qué tienen que ver los huesos con el lavado de cerebro? ¿Qué tenían que ver los padres de Dan con lo que se hacía en Brookline? ¿Qué eran esas visiones donde Dan se veía a sí mismo en el cuerpo del Director? ¿Qué tiene que ver los Artistas de Huesos con la secta de los Scarlets? ¿Por qué Evelyn termina siendo la gran heroína si salió de la nada?

¿Cuál era el afán de que Jordan y Cal terminaran juntos como pareja? ¿Solo porque son los únicos homosexuales en toda la historia? ¿Y qué pasó con Dan y Abby? ¿Era recíproco siquiera? Esa relación nunca existió, nunca fue nada. AAAAA.

Tanto potencial, tantas cosas que quedaron en el aire por culpa de una autora incapaz de conectar el tejido. Te responsabilizo a ti, [a:Madeleine Roux|4051426|Madeleine Roux|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1549404098p2/4051426.jpg], vieja ridícula, cómo se te ocurre escribir tan mal y más encima ni te dio para ponerle fotos al último libro, hay como 4 fotos todas cagás.

Es absurdo, no sé qué más decir. Ni decepcionado me siento, quedé como en shock por lo fatal de todo.

Mis besitos para Jordan, todos los demás me la pelan.

BTW. Igual leeré los otros libros anexos, porque al ser stand-alone no necesitan conectar con nada, y ya dejé claro que ahí es donde está el mayor problema de Roux.

I have mixed feelings for this book tbh

At first i didn’t like it a lot, it was okay, but not the best, and it only got better at the end, just like the last 5 chapters.

While i was reading it i was thinking how i was gonna give it 4 stars cause it wasn’t that good but i liked the end, but i’m sticking to 4 stars, maybe 4.5 stars.

Overall, it was okay. Not like the first book tho.

This book just isn't in the least bit believable... honestly it reminds me of movies that were made without the intention of a sequel... but then the first installment had mediocre success so they just grabbed a random string from the first one and created sequels that didn't really make sense considering the first one and with each installment it just gets worse. Yeah, that's basically this book, except the first book was already bad. Took one random idea that was established in the first book, and creates another book about it that is super unbelievable and far too coincidental in a million ways to make the plot "work"
Also the friendships in this book are shit
Don't read this unless you're 12 and haven't read much else

 As I started reading this series for the -creepy boarding school built on an asylum- vibes, I really liked the first book but this one was also fun. I was not expecting a lot after reading the second one but I was weirdly attached to this story. It is not objectively the best thing that I have ever read but it still is a fast paced, slightly creepy book which I NEED once in a while.

I also just cannot believe that this people will remain friends after this book
