The After-Room (The Apothecary Series)

The book itself looks and feels new, but it did have a rip at the top of the spine. It came in a bag and not a box, I'm not sure if that has any effects on the journey the book takes.As for the book itself, I can't wait to read it!

I loved this book. I had been counting down the days until it came out and was very impressed with the writing and the story line, except one part. As it turns out "the after-room" is actually the after life and Malie Meloy wrote about ghost and talking to dead people. Now I know that things in this series tend to be a bit magical like how they turn into birds, but the addition of dead people bent what I thought this series was about. I highly recommend the other two books in this series and wonder if there might be a fourth, seeing as their wasn't much of a conclusion and a bit of a hook at the end, but most definitely not a cliff hanger. I hope to read more on Janie, Benjamin, Pip, and Jin lo!

I absolutely loved this book. I just turned 11, and when I was around the age of 6-8 my friends and I believed that we could make magic potions, turn into fairies, and do things other people couldn't. We would make up fake adventures, and missions. Even though now I am older, this book brings these amazing memories back to life. However, it does sometimes make me wish that life was more exciting and had more adventure, and mystery. I wish such magical happenings would take place in my own life. When reading this book it convinced me that this world really does hold extraordinary things.

Book arrived a week early (which was especially appreciated because my 10 year old devoured the first two books in this series) and in better than expected condition. Thank you to TripleThreatProfessional for the great service!

Maile Meloy writes with so much assurance, so much meticulous and authentic texture, so much humanity and humor, it’s almost impossible NOT to believe in magic once you’ve immersed yourself in these books. This finale in particular. I was totally swept up by this wonderful, utterly original tale. Totally satisfied by the outcome of a long and winding journey. And totally engrossed by the emotional catharsis our heroes finally earn after much sacrifice and struggle. It’s hard to imagine any kid who wouldn’t be uplifted by this series. Mine certainly were!

These books are extremely exciting. You never know what's coming next. I love the touch of science fiction in them!

This author is a great story teller. Her imagination boggles the mind. I really did enjoy reading this story and will return to it again. The premise of the story of an after room stimulates the imagination. This book is great.

So exciting. Love the characters & the way they all have their own stories but keep meeting up. We hope there will be more books in the series!

Great conclusion to the trilogy. Loved that a large part of it was set in Rome and the inclusion of the romantic poets. Sad to say goodbye to Janie, Benjamin, Jin Lo and Pip.

My 12 year old daughter loved it but not as much as the previous two books

Buen cuento. El envío llegó como prometido

Great read!!
