Factotum: The Foundling's Tale, Part Three Audiobook

" This was a fantastic book full of all good things you could hope to find between the pages of a novel. My only gripe was that the ending left me a little disappointed. "

" Another fabulous book by D.M. Cornish! "

" One and a half of those stars are for the wonderful language that Cornish uses throughout the entire book- a special combination of archaic and made up vocabulary that is rather addictive, especially with the slight accent of the reader in the audio version. The half star is for having wonderful character but the lack of other stars is due to the author's neglect to actually do anything with, well, any of the characters. This results in the main deficiencies being plot oriented, but it's also close to impossible to have a meaningful theme without plot and the evolution of characters. There seems to be a bit of "camping" (a la Harry Potter #7) at the beginning where nothing happens, but then it turns out that Rossamund doesn't typically do anything anyway. In fact, he's all but left out of the climax which was not very climatic, as it didn't really involve the hero, except in a tacked-on sort of way, and didn't really resolve any of the hero's problems. It really needed a bigger story arch over the course of all three books and more action. Otherwise, the setting and character abilities are innovative and the language fun. "

" A satisfying ending to a fun series. By the end, the neologisms get a bit wearying - probably best to read the series in one go if you can to keep them fresh in your mind. However, the characters ring true, and the action is thrilling right to the end. "

" I was really looking forward to this book. It started out with such potential and then it fell apart. If it weren't for the ending it would have 5 stars. It almost seemed like Cornish didn't really know how to end it so he just threw something together and that was the end. It really left you wanting so much more. Do I see more in the future? We shall see. "

" I have enjoyed the adventures sad that this was the last not sure if I liked how it ended but understand it has to end somehow "

" Lovely, lovely story. I hope Mr. Cornish decides to pick this story up again. But then, maybe that will mess up the vibe of these three books. More is not always more. Bravo to the Monster Blood Tattoo series! "

" Loved it! But I have loved them all. The world Cornish has created is like none other I have visited. Maps have always been a favorite feature of mine. I just wish my eyesight was a little better so I could catch all the detail. The characters have such depth I can't wait to see what happens next! "

" i got a little restless in the middle for a while, but i liked it overall. a very satisfying end to the trilogy. "

" Thank you D.M. Cornish for the half continent. I love the characters, especially the strong women, the lore, the inventiveness, the fully realized alternate world. There will be another. Right? "

" Something of a letdown after the others but as ever, 5 stars for the worldbuilding alone "

" Are there going to be more???? "

" Love everything about this series! The characters, the world, the writing. "

" A disappointing end to a good series. I'd really have liked to see more of a conclusion to the different story arcs. As it stands, it feels like things are left hanging halfway through a series... "
