ES:
Esta es de mis series favoritas de Schwab precisamente por el formato que he elegido para disfrutarlo: el audiolibro.
Una trilogía de terror de una adolescente de trece años que puede ver fantasmas con su mejor amigo también fantasma...La misión de mandar esprectros al otro lado se suele complicar.

El formato audiolibro te permite zambullirte en este middle-grade y hasta pasar algo de miedo gracias a sus efectos y la tremenda actriz que lee el libro (oírlo de noche y a oscuras, como yo también ayuda). Voy a echar de menos a mi niña Cassidy.

EN:
And so, the Veil falls for one last time for Cassidy Blake...and I am going to miss her.
This is the last installment of the trilogy, which I listened on audiobook and that, to me, is the best way to enjoy it (specially if you, like me listen it to it at night and in the dark...so, the eerie, and sometimes scary effects hit where they need to).
I liked this story, specially the setting as I always wanted to see New Orleans. I like how darker this was and how the consequences from the previous books came to catch our young protagonists while mantaining the narrative rythtm all the way until the end of the story. I also like how this story laces dead and ghostly parts with more human, living interactions (no, spoilers, I promise).
Maybe the only thing that left me a bit unsure was that the resolution of the conflict was too quick for my taste (Do not take this the wrong way: while the conflict was at its peak I was holding on for dear life, I just wanted to be longer).

This book took everything I liked about the first book and amplified it. The setting plays a big role in the story, there is a lot of emotional development between the characters that I felt was lacking a tiny bit in the previous two installments. The plot was engaging and the main villain was as creepy (or a bit more) than the first book. It's rare that the last book in a series is my favorite, but this one definitely is.

Un bon dernier tome qui tient ses promesses honnêtement. Un peu chiant les réf a HP, mais y en a moins que dans les tomes précédents. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé qu’on voit plus Lara que dans le tome précédent. Vraiment un superbe personnage. Bref à bientôt pour un nouveau livre de V.E. Schwab

I really enjoyed the other 2 books in this series but was particularly excited to pick this one up as I have been to New Orleans before and love that city. The author does such a fantastic job of really grounding each book in the location and bringing the history and ghosts to life; I love it. It made it even more fun that I could vividly picture the majority of the locations since I was just there last year. I can't say much about the plot without spoilers since this is the 3rd installment but I loved the character progression and the new characters that were introduced. I'm hopeful that eventually more books will be released in this series.
