Un bon dernier tome qui tient ses promesses honnêtement. Un peu chiant les réf a HP, mais y en a moins que dans les tomes précédents. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé qu’on voit plus Lara que dans le tome précédent. Vraiment un superbe personnage. Bref à bientôt pour un nouveau livre de V.E. Schwab

I really enjoyed the other 2 books in this series but was particularly excited to pick this one up as I have been to New Orleans before and love that city. The author does such a fantastic job of really grounding each book in the location and bringing the history and ghosts to life; I love it. It made it even more fun that I could vividly picture the majority of the locations since I was just there last year. I can't say much about the plot without spoilers since this is the 3rd installment but I loved the character progression and the new characters that were introduced. I'm hopeful that eventually more books will be released in this series.

I'm starting to think that all I need in life is books about ghosts and pastry.

What a most perfect book.

4.0

Tied up the series very nicely - felt more tense than the previous books with higher stakes, but not inappropriate for a middle grade series. It's a nice spooky offering for children, and a light-hearted horror for adults. Sadly Cassidy's Harry Potter references have already dated the series with JKR's descent into TERFdom since the first book was released, so readers uncomfortable with that should be aware that they are still mentioned here.
