I loved the reveal of why he chose Avery tbh. It makes a lot of sense and lines up with Tobias’ previous actions and all the people he let fall to protect his own interests. It really added to his character to me. He was kind of built up to be this larger than life benevolent person but he was deeply flawed and really not that special, just lucky and smart
Really solid review! My only comment is in reference to your statement that Max's character didn't have any impact on the overall plot. I'd like to point out that it was Max who called in her doctor mom in The Hawthorne Legacy who nursed Avery back to health after the bomb incident. That was pretty significant. I do agree that she doesn't provide much more storyline contribution than that though.
I read the first two books, DNF’d the third, came here just to see how it ends and I am confused as hell 😂 Unfortunately I think the author made the plot after the first book waaay too complicated.
bro, to me this entire series just went downhill after the first book. the plot of the first one was great, i loved the first book so much i read the second and third one right away. those were like a 3 star rating for me, they just didn’t have the same magic and it got too complicated. the brothers hawthorne finally came out and i was super excited to read it, but i forgot basically everything that happened in the other books so i had to watch the summary videos to understand. I started the brothers hawthorne and it drove me into a huge reading slump so i DNF’d it, but now i’m trying to read it again and i’m watching these videos again. I just wish the author didn’t stretch out the plots so much, it gets boring after a while.
Have you seen that another book is coming out: “The Brothers Hawthorne”? What do you think about that, tbh i was kinda ready to be done with the series
Yeah I was surprised when I saw it! I’m not sure how I feel about it because I was also ready to be done with the series so honestly it might be a skip for me.
Same, that's why I'm here to have a recap of the story. She gives nice summary. I am so eager to read the next book. What it would be about. And I am so excited to read more of Jameson and Grayson . I became a fan of their fab duo since their fight in that photography charity place for Avery.
@@meghangaddisreads I do understand. This trilogy, towards it's ending didn't come out to be that much believable. But I just read it like a normal book and I like having this confusing and cliff hanging plots in the books i read. Quite a fan of love triangles , young adult stories and escape room type of plots.
I kept expecting Alisa or Nash to be a secret villain by reading book 1 and 2 and book 3 disappointed me so much, I expected a better plot twist and more shock value.
Tobias Hawthorne also choose her because there was so many factors about her that make her perfect for the role. Like you said she is technically a target but she also was in the perfect place at the wrong time. Toby was very fond of Avery’s mother and he knew how incredibly talented and intelligent she is. Tobias also was just a bit of a backstabber in general.
I was forced to listen to all 3 coz of a significant another, and honestly , it started good, but then it just went below mediocre. And no offence to any girls, but the story was written with young girls in mind, cause the whole love part was too forced and honestly too much of the good things that would be expected in a book of this setting was simply replaced with romance snd isolated puzzles that work in that situation of people thinking themselves smarter than the world whole being completely ignorant(i am talking about boys, not the old man, the old man was truly smart). Snd at the end where she gave away the money with that charity stunt, yeah, only in fantasy novels, she could have used that as a basic for a lot things, and started a completly new legacy, but she did what would feel right, not what could have been right. But thats the book, a feel good book, not a good book.
Technically Max was an important character. Though not needed in the main plot. But come on! Definitely in this mumbo jumbo Avery needed someone to talk to and release her stress, be a simple girl that she was back in her old school. Bcz she couldn't trust anyone here in the Hawthorne house and that crazy new school. Atleast at the beginning. And come on it's a young adult book, she needs a bestieee

Im happy she ended yup with Jameson to be honest. With Grayson he was still on emily and when he saw eve he got hooked.
True true like jennifer did grayson so dirty😫
Exactlyyy omg. If Grayson had moved on from Emily, he would've dated Avery. And that's exactly what Jameson had told Avery.
yeah that’s true but not the eve part bc later on he started wanting eve to be avery
@@euphoriya09 Yes! Grayson didnt move on, he was still hooked on the past
@@aditalingam3488 thats true, but remember eve looked like Emily. He never got over Emily, so when eve came along, he instantly liked her.
I just finished and I loved the book even though the “old man” being so smart he planned the future out didn’t really make sense lol
im honestly devastated avery didn’t end up with grayson but i am glad that she’s happy w jamie
I totally feel that they also would have been so cute together
@@meghangaddisreads yeaa
SAME
You did a very good job explaining the book plot. I recently completed the book and I loved your review.

can I just add that Max was the one who referenced them to the Bible when they got the numbers. seems pretty significant for me too!

This book was basically a korean thriller drama but add in the spice of poorly written romantic subplot aka the love triangle and riddles

I loved the concept of this story but feel it could easily have been told in one book :)
Omg thank you for this
I'm with you word for word! You have the perfect pace of conversation for me. I get it! Thank you 😊🧡

Hi I just want to share this is not the last book there is one more in the series it's called The Hawthorne Brothers
What are your thoughts on book 4 (The Brothers Hawthorn)? I’m sure you’ve lost interest as it’s been a year…but, if you’ve read it. Please share!
Technically Max was an important character. Though not needed in the main plot. But come on! Definitely in this mumbo jumbo Avery needed someone to talk to and release her stress, be a simple girl that she was back in her old school.
