The 13th book in "The Mortal Instruments Saga".
I FINISHED IT! You'll understand my excitement when you realise that "A Series of Unfortunate Events" is a saga formed by 13 books! And they are increidibly good, every one of them. Lemony Snicket writing is very direct and ironic, maybe that´s why I loved them so much.
This last book, like the other ones before him, followed the storyline of the tragedies of the awesome and very talented Baudelaire's, and they all have the same structure, they arrive somewhere new, they are happy, a new schism comes to shore, they are in trouble, they solve the trouble, and they embark on a new journey. Even though this could seem repetitive been told 13 times, Snicket manages to add places, and thoughts, ideas, and people, that make the story something to reflect on, to notice things that weren't so obvious and to keep on going if you have the imagination to do so.
The end of "The End" is one that I did not expect and yet it's not surprising, it's a rader delightfull and doubtfull ending, a wide finale to a very closed beggining.
I am definetly reading them all again, making an special efort to keep up with the criss-crossed storyline and actually remember all the characters and their story, so I know more about them when they refer to them a couple of books and many pages later.
With all due respect,
Andrea Ces.
