DNF. Bleh. Lovely premise, loved the beginning. But by part two, i'd had enough.

DNF.

I stayed up from 00:01-5:56 to read this ASAP after being tortured to wait after reading the first two... And now I shall return to being TORTURED once more. JLA weaves magnificent tales. Never have I found myself so enrapt in the world and characters of each page. Mastery and I am so glad I stumbled across it when I did. The third book does not disappoint. All those fan theories? Either squished like a bug, biting and gnawing with suspicion or leaving me outright crowing in the dead of the night with the righteousness or dismay I have been left with. And now... with that for an ending? I wait...

VE Schwab fans eat your heart out! I loved this! The only way it would've been better was an adult version with even more real death and gore! I enjoyed the use of multiple P.O.V.s and how that was used to keep the narration flowing. Best example of how to actively use the narration timeline as a tool; finding out contestants at the same time as the characters made it much more exciting and fantastical. It had a compelling unique magic system that added to brilliant worldbuilding. One of my favourite arcs from the past year!
I received an arc copy for review and leave this view voluntarily

Giving it a rating already seeing as I'm one of the few who got to see this amazing show during previews as well as having just finished reading the script through again. The set, actors, music show in one was incredible with some inspiring moments of dialogue that tugged at both the heartstrings and the laughter trapped in our throats. I may be biased as a Harry Potter fan but I can truly say that from where I was sat the story (which is exactly what this is) was well woven and well worth the money spent and I cannot believe I can finally hold each and every line in my hands... Moments within the script truly bring each of these characters to life especially those we got a brief mention of in the Deathly Hallows epilogue. As a stand alone script I believe there will truly be some magic lost by those who have yet to see it, however it will be a script well worth... Pardon, it IS a script well worth a five star review.
