This books is simultaneously 200 pages too long and 200 pages too short. As many others have noted, this book is poorly edited. The dialogue is repetitive and lacks the voice that was established in the first two books in the series. The middle drags in such a way that when I read the last hundred pages, I thought to myself, “why did we spend so much time reading about Poppy eating cheese and asking questions, but had so little time reading about what actually moves the plot forward?” Without the last hundred pages, this would’ve been a two star read.
