Not as engrossing as the first two

Honestly, this was a good tale and well written but so drawn out I skimmed a few sections.  I love her writing and the tale but the third book never really pulled me in.

I didn't like this book as much as the first two in this series. The story line seemed to drag on and on.

I loved the first two books but this one was okay, I mean it was a cool read but not as exciting as the first two books..

Unfortunately I didn't think it was as good as the first two. But still not a bad read

Didn't enjoy it as much as the other two -- too much background detail at the onset, however still caught up in the story and now wondering about a Book Four.

The last three books aren't nearly as good as the first two.  She moves away from Montmorency's life from the rough side of town -- when that dichotomy was what was so fascinating! Still a good read, and the rest of the series is well done, but they aren't as clever as the first one was.

Not as good as the first 3. Seemed a little forced.

I eagerly awaited the release of Faithful Place after reading the first two books in Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series. I absolutely loved the first two books, In the Woods and The Likeness. They were tightly plotted and kept me guessing right up until the last page. The characters were multi-dimensional. They were part mystery and part psychological drama. They were unlike your typical murder mystery. Every word counted and contributed to the story.

Faithful Place unfortunately was just not as sharp as the first two books. It lacked the intense psychological drama of the previous offerings. The characters, especially protagonist Frank Mackey, were pretty transparent. Everyone was exactly as they first seemed to me. I guessed the culprit about half way through the book. There were some parts that reeked of filler to me. Unlike the first two it was not a compulsive read. In a few parts I thought it was really going to turn around but it never did.

Perhaps it's unfair that I'm comparing this book to the first two. True enough, if I hadn't read the other books I would probably have enjoyed Faithful Place more. But knowing what French is capable of I couldn't help but be disappointed. I don't know if she was rushed to write and finish the third installment after the success of the first two or what. Either way I am holding out hope that the rest of the series can rekindle some of the brilliance of the first two.

This book was not as well done not as engaging as the first two in the series. That said, I had to read it because I couldn't leave all those stories hanging.

The 1st 3 in the Uglies series were excellent but the 4th one is a much slower, less enjoyable read.  Still OK but not quite up to the 1st three

I liked the first two books better.  This went off on some strange tangents.  It leaves us hanging, though.  Maybe a chance to redeem himself, for Cronin.

I loved the first two books in the series, but the grand finale isn't quite as grand. Still, if you've been following the series, you need this for closure, because it does wrap things up. I'm not thrilled with the ending, and I found the whole novel less amusing than its predecessors. Perhaps I overdosed on all the Monty Python-esque humor, stunts and pratfalls and illogical set pieces. This book continues the saga of a badly planned, ineptly handled Apocalypse, where bureaucracy is hampering the angels, political infighting is messing up the demons, and humans get in the way, willing or not. Christine Temetri, a hack writer for an end times newspaper, seems to be the smartest opponent of the upcoming devastation; she is now assisted by an FBI specialist in explosives who has Tourette's Syndrome; and our friend Mercury, a sarcastic and apathetic slacker angel, is pivotal to the plot. But, as in the previous books, the plot is more of a series of skits which may or may not tie together. I suggest reading it a bit at a time, to avoid the overwhelm of this particular type of humor.

I enjoyed the first two novels much more than this last and final book of the trilogy. I found this to be a little preachy and felt the author injected his own opinions into the story more in this book than in the other two. In addition I found keeping the characters lineage straight somewhat difficult in the kindle because I was unable to flip to the front of the book to reference the family trees at will. I would still recommend the trilogy as a good read.

While i did enjoy this book somewhat...i agree with the other reviewers that it wasn't quite up to snuff with the first two books.  I did enjoy the storyline with Sidda, Little Shep,Lulu and Baylor...the rest was just filler and gave me a slight headache.

The errors really took away from the story. While I sincerely enjoyed reading this book for me personally it didn't hold my attention as much as the first two. It seemed to be a lot of repeating of events just some aspects changed.

Characters are not very complex, and the book was not as engaging as the first two in the series. It was an ok end, but overall, I wasn't very impressed with this book in particular. I liked the idea behind the series a lot though.
