A Satisfying Conclusion, Although I Miss the School a Bit
4 stars
The characters continued to be a delight and I enjoyed spending time with them.
The ending was strong and satisfying, although the middle third was a bit of a slog and less enjoyable than the prior two books. It took some time for the book to find its footing outside of the school setting.
The allegory was a little heavy handed and didn't always work, but I enjoyed what it was going for.
Retroactively upgrading Book 2 to five stars, because one book in the series deserves it and 2 was the best.
Liesel is best girl.
