Piece About Books Wildwood Imperium (Wildwood Chronicles #3)

Part of the charm of this series is the sprawling nature of the story. The plot is expansive, with far-flung roots that tap as much action and detail as possible. The world Meloy builds is rich, but the minutiae is excessive at times. Meloy's voice is lyrical and full of whimsy (of course it is), but I couldn't fully enjoy it when he kept pulling me out of the story to explain that Prue used a particular idiom because her dad used to say it on camping trips, or to check on a random owl's midlife

This book was my least favourite of the three Wildwood Chronicles Series. It just didn't cross over well for an adult reader, the way the other two did. Too much action/kids running around, instead of the woodsy, magical feel I enjoyed in the first. Skimmed through much of the end and didn't finish.

I liked the first two books in this trilogy very much, but found this one to be much too long. It tool hundreds of pages to even locate some of the main characters. The saboteurs were a fun crowd, and I thought the ending was good, but would have appreciated a little more effort from the editors. And the drawings by Meloy's wife, Carson Ellis, continue to shine, especially the color plates. 2.5 stars.

Really liked the series. The illustrations are lovely. I can easily picture and connect with the characters. I especially love Esben! And I expect Elsie and Brendan are going to be besties.



Real review: My reviews for Wildwood & Under Wildwood are linked. I ended up absolutely adoring this as a finale for this series. It was so well crafted, and so damn interesting! The first two books, I was not exactly meh on, but they didn't hold my attention quite like this one did. Obviously, it still took me a couple weeks to finish it, but I really thought that this was a magnificent third book. It kept me guessing a lot where the previous two did not, and I really wasn't sure how it
