I love this series so much! A maturish middle grade read with a lot of good underlying messages. It can be gruesome and violent, but is also written with a fantastic amount of snark. The narrator voice is absolute perfection. A collection of several reimaginings woven into a great story.

I do recommend reading this one in very close proximity to the other two. While the initial book and the sequel technically standalone fine, this conclusion requires some knowledge of the previous stories and there were moments I found myself a bit lost as I tried to recall the earlier books. But that just gives me a good reason to go back and read them all again.

This is absolutely among my favorite middle grade series reads. Recommend for more mature middle grade readers. Do not recommend for younger middle grade levels due to the violent content. Ages 10+ would probably be best depending on how well the child can handle that part of the subject matter.
