I liked the story and where it was going I just didn't like how "Badass" she and her friends were made out to be. Like they had the knowledge and skill to compete against Caleb a super powerful enemy who's killed others no problem. I also felt that her constantly reflecting on her feelings over and over again was more of a filler for the book then necessary. I did like the storyline and the concept and even the adventure side of it and I would continue on with the next book.

The Mapmakers Union (The Doorknob Society Saga Book 3) por M.J. Fletcher

My original two complaints, editing and swearing, are still present for this book but I found I was able to ignore them for the content.

Chloe still struggles with relationships and in fact pushes people away more so in this one. I love the element of her friendship with Edgar, the limits of her friendships with Val and Jess, the reconciliation process with Slade and the absence of Nightshade.

In fact, the use of his absence, her grieving process and flashbacks were what made my heart grow that much fonder of his character. I love the spotlight on Edgar and the use of this time to focus on the main plot and other characters’ development. I found Chloe to be less obnoxious in this book.

Themes of betrayal in trust in a character who already struggles relationally were great choices in my opinion to unfold at this point in the story. It added much depth to Chloe’s character. I would say she is probably most developed in this book.

I found the ending for this book to be a little bit abrupt and the hook was not at the end but rather the overall building plot and relationships that made me but the next installment as soon as I finished this book.

The Detective Inspectors (The Doorknob Society, #4) por M.J. Fletcher

My original two complaints, editing and swearing, are ever present for this book but I found I was able to ignore them for the content.

One of my favorite themes in this book is the redemption of the relationships. It’s interesting watching her learning that relationships-romantic, friendship and family- are messy and yet still worth fighting for. The mediums through which she learns those lessons are intense.

I found Nightshade’s amnesia a great tension builder for the relationship and his new relationship with another girl as a result of it devastating. Probably more so than it was intended to be. The introduction of a third love interest, Declan felt like a bit much but I liked his character and role.

Still, I found the process of their reconciliation to be fascinating amidst the struggle to trust for both personal and mission reasons. I had a literal laugh out loud moment in this book with Val’s character. When a book can make me do that, it’s a keeper.

Jess’ development was probably my favorite as a character in this book. I could see her as a standalone character in another series. Chloe has become a much softer character though still impulsive, but I appreciate her even more as less brassy. Nightshade becomes an even more complex character. The arch-enemies as secondary characters have interesting development on their own and I was interested to see just how they would be defeated since they were quite resilient and clever foes.

I’m impressed by how many fight/battle sequences I’ve read without getting bored of them up to this point in book 4 of the series.

I did not hesitate to buy the last installment in the series, The Skeleton Key Guild, though I suspected how it would end. Watching all of the characters complete their development was enough entertainment and worth it to me.
