Besides the boring plot that couldn’t hold my attention, it felt like this was a part of a whole different series. Our awesome crime solving duo was no longer a duo in this book. For some reason a weird love triangle was thrown in and Thomas was pushed out of the story a little. As the best character I was disappointed and frustrated by the lack of his character. I did like Mephistopheles as a character. He was interesting in an otherwise boring plot, but his use as part of the love triangle was boring and unnecessary.
The plot itself, mainly the mystery, was messy. In the first two books I had fun trying to figure out who the murderer was but while I technical guessed very early on in EFH I was always unsure because nothing made any sense. Even at the end when it was revealed it still didn’t make any sense to me. The author created this wonderful and magic atmosphere and didn’t use it to its full potential.
I might give book 4 a chance but I’m not confident it can bring this series back.
