![]() ![]() If you want to read something whimsical, fanciful, and just a little bit different I would recommend the first book and perhaps even the second one, but this final installment I would just skip. All in all this was a frustrating conclusion, and I could have very much just read the first two books and been happy leaving it at that. I also found that some of the magical world building didn't make any sense, while in other books it was definitely fanciful but also believable. ![]() ![]() She also just essentially tried to do too much in such a short period of time, and because of such I never really got any closure on the whole thing. In the other two books I adored the writing and the world Mantchev has created, but in this book I found she added too many side characters at the last minute. The romance seemed far to melodramatic, and the love triangle wasn't done well and wasn't satisfying. I felt like after all this time Bertie and the other main characters had little to no character development. The romance was brought to the forefront in this final installment which is why it really just grated on my nerves. One thing I never liked about those books, however, was the romance. I thought they were the definition of whimsical, theatrical, dreamy, and just so different. I gave the first book in the trilogy 4 stars and the second book in the trilogy 3.5 stars. This final installment of the Theatre Illuminata trilogy just did not work for me. ![]()
