So completes an unusual trilogy. I was a little disappointed. I like Mouse; she’s my favorite character by far in this trilogy, but her journey is strange. She had an eventful early life, followed by 700 years of wandering around doing very little (? ...more

Thomas liked Aly's review of Book of the Just (Bohemian Trilogy, #3): "I absolutely loved this series! A story of love, revenge, forgiveness, shame, family ties & so much more.
