im happy this series is finally ending but im also surprisingly sad?? who knew that I (the person who hasn't connected with a series in years) would get connected and love a series about rich people fighting for 3 books. Its ADDICTING.
Astrid if ur reading this.... I love you
I've devoured all of these books like they were candy and I wish there were going to be more. The definition of a beach read, in the best possible way.
I definitely enjoyed this finale more than its predecessor. The whole drama surrounding the inheritance, all the family members vying for their share, and the unexpected revelations made for a lot of entertainment. But I was pleasantly surprised when the revelations happened almost at the halfway mark and I wasn't sure what more story could be left, but I actually liked the latter half of the book more. The ending was such an interesting resolution and I absolutely adored the arcs for both Astrid's story as well as Nick's.
This series may have been superficial and pretentious, but I did have a great time listening to the audiobooks and were the exact kind of books I needed during this time. Just pure fun.
The final book in the Crazy Rich Asians series. Although not my favorite in the series, it does a great job of buttoning up the various stories while still hinting at a future.
After finishing up China Rich Girlfriend in no time, I turned to this and was a little disappointed with the lack of continuation of the cliffhanger in the 2nd book. However, I enjoyed this and all three books. I wasn't fully expecting Kwan to cover the stories of everyone in all three books, it seems like there are dozens of characters floating around, I'm surprised how well-tracked most of them were through the three books. I can see the critiques of other reviews, but for something quick and fun, I liked this and the other two. I can definitely tell that some stories were just filler, but he was able to tie them all together at the end.
“Rich Single Moms”, about Astrid and Kitty as roommates after their divorces, would have been a lot more fun. “Dying Rich Grandma” is packed with flashbacks for a far more interesting story than the one we're being told.
Counting this as my Singapore book.
I was happy to hang out with the Young family again and was even happier that Astrid was more prevalent in this book.
Okay, that ending was a little lackluster. I'm going to need a prequel book just about the amazing Su Yi! And the Eddie situation was a little too easily resolved. This book needed to be longer to properly wrap up some of these interesting storylines. The aunties also seemed easily pacified. Fun book! I just want more.
The final book in the Crazy Rich Asians series. Although not my favorite in the series, it does a great job of buttoning up the various stories while still hinting at a future.
The last book in the Crazy Rich Asians series nicely ties everything together. We find out quite a bit about the legendary Ah Ma too. Glad I found this series.
So much fun as usual! I'm glad everyone ended up happy or got what they deserved. 😊
A very fun and satisfying conclusion to this delightfully soapy saga. (With some slight bonus HISTORICAL CONTENT that was separately interesting! I'd read a whole WWII-era prequel to this series if Kevin Kwan wants to write it)
