Just so you know, if anyone's reading this review, if you lot don't want spoilers, stop reading here.Making Friends #3: Third Time'south a Charm is at present definitely one of my very favourite books. Information technology had everything I like: a misunderstood, kind-of-nice-looking villain (wink wink), girl power, magic, middle school, alternating reality, night humour, adorable pastel-tinged illustrations, and chimera tea! Dear!
Dany and Madison are back, simply with an entirely new life. Their mom writes novels and their dad is a famous rock star. They believe they're sisters. And, the world seems completely: 1) Futuristic, and 2)Perfect. They're enrolled in a fancy-pants school for the "financially gifted" (which in my stance seemed a footling regrettable simply...eh) and Dany is now a expert student.
Soon plenty, the girls meet Amara St. Cloud, a whimsical purple-haired girl who is aloof and seems to exist hiding something. After a trip to a boba tea shop (whose owner turns out to be someone they know...) they visit her mansion'due south basement and acquire about the magic that they have forgotten. That's when things get crazy.
All in all, this book was awesome. It'south my favourite one yet (and believe me, I LOVED the first two), only at the same fourth dimension, I actually felt disappointed about the ending. It stops at such a night fleck, with no magic, no notebook, and no Madison. Also, I wish we could have constitute out what happened to Amara'southward mom. I give this book four/five stars, only considering the art was cute, the character evolution was nice, and it was magical. Please write volume Number 4!!!
P.S. I've been reading the reviews for the Making Friends serial and in that location'due south a lot of people beingness a bit harsh. Y'all could say, "I didn't savor information technology very much" but you don't have to telephone call it "terrible" or tag it as "never talk about it once more". I have a feeling if Kristen Gudsnuk reads those comments she'll exist very offended. Some people fifty-fifty said that the art was awful. However, I do understand that freedom of speech is important. I just feel like people should be respectful. This website should be peaceful, peeps. :three

Did this just terminate on a cliffhanger? Did Kristen but do that to me???? (I love this serial. The level of item and cleverness with the world edifice in groundwork panels is just genius.)
The beginning and middle was pretty cracking, because it gives you a sense of "Look, what? Why has their reality inverse?" and it didn't brand me desire to stop reading. I liked Amara, and was happy to see Prince Neptune come back (my not-so-hugger-mugger vanquish, hah ha). The groundwork jokes were funny as always, merely the i affair I didn't like was the ending, as I found information technology a bit confusing. At present, I won't say besides much to people who haven' Oh, wow. I finished this in about an hour, and permit me say what I thought:
The beginning and middle was pretty great, because it gives you a sense of "Wait, what? Why has their reality inverse?" and information technology didn't make me want to stop reading. I liked Amara, and was happy to run into Prince Neptune come back (my non-and then-surreptitious crush, hah ha). The background jokes were funny as always, but the 1 thing I didn't like was the ending, as I plant it a bit confusing. Now, I won't say too much to people who haven't read the volume notwithstanding, but for the people who have...You know what I meant. I had to read that final role twice and I still didn't get it. ...more
Very good and interesting. Would recommend it to anyone. Good good good good skilful good good adept and good it was astonishing

Hang out with sisters Madison and Dany as they head to a new prep school and meet poor lilliputian rich girl Amara who is desperate for some friends, especially ones who also believe magic is real. But what is going on? These aren't the Dany and Madison we met before, and something shady is up with Amara's family. Who has the magical notebook now and how are they using information technology?This one threw me for a little bit of a loop when I outset started reading. You go into information technology and it acts like everything is normal, merely these aren't quite the characters you lot've met before. And yous kickoff wondering if you remember things right or non...and so eventually y'all realize someone has been using the notebook and it all becomes clear. Well, more often than not. There'southward some threads left dangling I'one thousand guessing will be addressed in a future volume. So when I beginning put it downwards I was thinking, 'That was but weird.' Only on further contemplation I call up it is a pretty brilliant way to demonstrate how even the near well-meaning of people wouldn't do a dandy job running the globe without some omniscience. If you or I had the chance to rewrite the world into what you call up would exist a utopia, nosotros'd probably drop the brawl in several respects and end up making a grand mess in many areas, which is basically what has happened in this. And then I like this for getting readers thinking most how much control is practiced for 1 limited, finite person to agree. And I think you could have some not bad conversations with a book club about it if y'all really dug deep. It does take a little time though to go past the weird and see the gems hidden in this, though. Total side annotation, just equally someone living in Asia where chimera tea sightings are an almost daily thing, I constitute the placing of the boba in the bubble tea in all of the illustrations jarringly wrong. But considering it is and then consistent (it is fatigued with the boba on top instead of on the bottom in every single panel it appears in, and that's about 12 places including on the encompass) and because it is so glaringly wrong, I'm wondering if it isn't an art editing miss and possibly was washed on purpose to clue readers in quite early that something is off with this world??? I have several middle schoolers who Dear this series, and then I'grand sure it volition circulate exceedingly well as shortly as it hits the shelves. I'll be interested to hear what they think of it.
Notes on content: No linguistic communication bug that I remember. No sexual content. There's some magical battles and manipulation some of which make people disappear and/or modify their personality against their volition. There are some parent/child relationships that could use a whole lot of therapy because they aren't good for you and are a lot manipulative.

"I'm just another awful thing in this globe that needs fixing. I'I honey this book'southward energy. It'south erratic, stupid, and dizzy but in an absolutely endearing way. Information technology'due south like the author mixed five magical girl animes, a cup of chopped kale, and a dash of quirkiness into a blender on high. In that location'south a mishmash of things I love: the anime references (endeavour counting them all! Information technology's fun!), the bubble tea, the magical realism bits, the business organization jokes, the humor, etc. Similar, did y'all make this series for me???
"I'm just another awful affair in this world that needs fixing. I'm like world hunger" (pg 85).
Now, this is one of the few books where I HAD to read the synopsis to know what was going on. Because also many things had inverse from the commencement 2 books. The plot could perhaps turn some readers off or misfile them, but, if you like this series, I call up you already bask the messy, fast-paced storytelling. A nitpick is Dany gets a 1-page character evolution that doesn't feel completely earned. Other things don't go explained well either. The artwork has gotten more than off-model than before, but information technology wasn't a business organization for me.
This series has never shied away from darker implications or psychological-pondering ones. This alternate reality has been made past one person, and information technology shows the weight that comes from making a world to your own liking. Similar, could making everything good be a bad thing? Where does freewill come into play?
Also, Dany's struggle with social awkwardness will also be very relatable. There are moments when she pretends non to know about a fandom/tv evidence to appear likable or brags about things she thinks will brand her absurd. A darker element of the book is Dany'due south need to conform and be accepted to the point she'll stifle her true self. Some other betoken involves parents trying to change their kids' personalities. (view spoiler)[ i was Then disappointed in the mom for literally rewriting Dany'due south personality. that's messed up. (hibernate spoiler)] The Prince Neptune stuff will always crack me up, and I loved that he got some spotlight here. It reminds me when I thought Kisshu/Quiche from Tokyo Mew Mew was so cool until I realized how toxic he was when I got older.
Anyhow, I know this series won't appeal to anybody, but I certainly had fun reading it. Making Friends: Third Time's a Charm has a certain charm. I likewise think this was the finish of the series, right?
Review of volume 1
Review of book two
I constitute myself HALFWAY through the book when it seemed as though the book had only just STARTED.
The story seemed to drag on forever, and when I reached the end, it seemed like I was going to exist stuck on a cliffhanger until the fourth book came out.
Danielle Radley, the main character, was back in her ol I read the start 2 books in the series and admittedly savage in beloved with the series. When book #3 came out, I was and so excited I immediately bought it. Just it really was quite a roller coaster ride.
I plant myself HALFWAY through the book when it seemed every bit though the book had merely just STARTED.
The story seemed to drag on forever, and when I reached the finish, it seemed like I was going to exist stuck on a cliffhanger until the quaternary book came out.
Danielle Radley, the main grapheme, was dorsum in her old reality. Except her mom wasn't really her mom, it was one of the upper stratium and wore the same pin that the St Clouds wore.
Everything was all messed upwards, Madison and Lauren were no where to be constitute, Aunt Elma was institute resting in Lauren's room attached to a drip, and Danielle had her emergency scrap of magic sketchbook newspaper and what she would exercise with it was unknown.
Note: Amara St Cloud had noted in page xiii during their first meeting that her step grandmother owns Viaconia Inc. So, later in the book, a pruny old lady (Penelope the dog'south old possessor), is known as Aunt Viaconia.
Back to where Madison and Dany went to Amara's mansion. In her room, at that place was a moving picture of aunt Viaconia and Penelope when they were younger.
At the end of the book, it shows a show called 'My Magical Best Friend' by Viaconia Kids TV. Madison is in in that location playing as the magical best friend, and if you haven't noticed, Dani St Cloud playing equally the creator of the magical best friend was in Amara's book when she was finding an answer for Dany.

And then, this serial is not for me. I got through the first two, and at this indicate, not certain I'll keep reading. My teen also felt the aforementioned mode and she's the target demographic.The story was so disjointed and jumped effectually, and there really wasn't a linear plot that wove everything together. Too much happening. Besides many side plots. No existent structure. I nigh DNF'd it. Just it's a graphic novel, then that seemed pretty harsh.
There also didn't seem to exist whatsoever consequences for her mom basically disrupting the time continuum and being what I consider to be a actually selfish person. I hated her for trying to make her daughter something she wasn't and for making all these changes to do good herself. She was evil, and no one seemed to care.

Confounding.
And the fine art has deteriorated to the point where I'm turned off. How does someone who makes mitt peacocks (page xi) become a multi-book deal?
I couldn't get into this. The outset book in the serial was delightful. The 2nd, meh. This one?Confounding.
