I Think I Liked It Sm Because There Was More Enoch - Tumblr Posts

Okay MPHFPC Fandom, I have a question.

What are the fandom's opinion of the latter three books in the series?

My friend and I, who have read them all, have come to the conclusion that we did not care for the second trilogy much and felt it took away from the original story. This is not to bash Ransom Riggs as an author whatsoever, I still love his writing and respect his creative vision, it just wasn't something I overly enjoyed. I felt Library of Souls would have been a fine place to end the story, and that's where I have chosen to stop when I re-read the books.

So I'm curious: What do other fans think of the last three books? The only people I know who have read all 6 don't like the latter half, so I'm curious of other opinions.
