Can I go higher? 5.5 / 5 stars? I.unequivocally love this book, this series.

The chapters where (1) Indira meets the Sorting Hate and (2) where Deus Ex ets the librarian, are my favorite in the book, I think. Third - and final - book in the Talespinners series.Ĭharacter MVP: Two-way tie between the Sorting Hate and Deus Ex Machina (who still gives me Curse of the Black Pearl Captain Jack vibes. (But with tighter storytelling, because things got away from Fforde.) Vibes: Like a version of Marvel's "What If" based on the premise, "What if we could go back and *not* sort too soon so that we could showcase some of those mythical-unicorn-Slytherins who are supposedly not all bad?" + Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

(And got a little bit grumpy because I couldn't just drop everything and finish it.) I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish this book because I couldn't put it down. 'Bad guys with a soft spot,' Peeve added.
