Wow, that was an epic last book! At 650 or so pages, it makes sense that some parts seemed slow. My favorite parts were the boat trip and stop at the ghost market and the finale. My least favorite parts that I made myself read rather than skip were the flashbacks to Holland's story. He plays a big role in the final book so I can see why Schwab told more of his story, but I still didn't care much about his character.

Word is this trilogy will be made into a movie franchise. Obviously, Hollywood can't resist a fantasy with a feisty female lead character. It could be one of the better adaptations if they do everything right. I would like to see the magic tackled in a similar way as it is in the newer Snow White adaptations.
