I just want it to be known that this is the fourth book I’ve read today. And I love this series so much. And I can’t believe I forgot how integral it was to the development of my life for reading

This book was SO GOOD. All the books in this series so far have just sucked me in 100%. These books are so unique, each one has a different twist and a different feel. I think this one gave some great character development for Cass and Max-Earnest. Yo-Yoji still has room to grow, but I'm sure that will come in the next two books! Every thing about this book was wonderful and I personally think it was better than the previous book. Can't wait until the next book!

My nine-yeAr-old co-reader ( and designated audience) loves this series and this
Book loved up to his expectations. (I would have given it 3 stars but I am not the designated audience). One should start with the first book in the series.

The evil members of The Midnight Sun are at it again, this time on the hunt for a mystical tuning fork that can create any food the taster has ever had before. Cass and her friends in the Terces Society must try to track down the fork first and prevent the bad guys from using it to create the ultimate magical chocolate.
This series is a hoot, and I love that Charlie loves it so much that he wants me to keep reading it, too. So I will, of course, comply.

There's... Well... A lot more race-based tropes in this one than i remember from the previous ones? It's not awful, but it's veering towards uncomfortable, and I'm less excited for the next one than i was for this one.

Por fin he podido degustar (y nunca mejor dicho en esta ocasión) la tercera pieza de La colección secreta de Pseudonymous Bosch, una serie de cinco libros en los que cada uno versa sobre un sentido y en los que se esconde un Secreto muy grande. Ya hemos visitado el olfato y el odio en los dos primeros volúmenes, y en esta ocasión llego el turno del gusto. En esta nueva aventura nuestro querido narrador nos contará como la madre de Cas ha sido secuestrada por el siniestro chocolatero el Señor Hugo; como Cas, Max-Ernest y Yo-yoji en embarcarán en nueva investigación para intentar rescatarla y como siempre, lucharán contra los malvados integrantes de El sol de medianoche que estarán metidos en medio de todo el asunto.
Ha sido el mejor volumen de los tres leídos hasta ahora, ya que es el volumen más equilibrado de todos. Aventuras, misterio y desarrollo de nuestros protagonistas están en bueno armonía para hacer que no te despegues de sus hojas ni un momento. Ayuda también nuestro querido y misterioso narrador, el cual como siempre sigue interaccionando con nosotros y desata todo su amor por el chocolate en este libro, y de paso te da bastante hambre. Capítulos cortos con finales totalmente cliffhanger hacen que no sueltes el libro de fácil manera.
En este libro ademas tocaremos temáticas como los problemas a los que se enfrenta una madre cuando su hija se entera de que es adoptada, como vive un hijo la recuperación en la relación de sus padres divorciados o exploraremos un poco en la identidad de cada uno de ellos. Y bueno hablara de chocolate, cantidades ingentes de chocolate y algunas cosillas interesantes sobre el tema. Como en los anteriores entregas Pseudonymous nos agregará notas al pie de página con detalles explicativos que nunca vienen mal, yo siempre descubro un par de cosas gracias a él. Una nueva y misteriosa aventura que nos sigue dejando con ganas de más, sobre todo por que seguimos sin saber que es el dichoso Secreto. Espero que tengamos pronto la cuarta parte.

2018: I loved this one, and it was just as amazing as I remembered it, also probably my second favourite in the series.

Bosch is back with the third installment in the Secret series, and it's a strong return! I still maintain that the first book was the best in the series thus far, but I did enjoy this one more than I enjoyed the second book in the series. The parallels between Bosch's series and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events are uncanny--both are whimsical and often break the fourth wall, with the author mysteriously inserting themselves into the plot. The book often resorts to using quirky formatting, which makes it all the more enjoyable (and might, in fact, be my favorite thing about these books). The ending definitely leaves you wanting to know more, and I'm excited to get my hands on This Isn't What It Looks Like

I'm not really sure how a person could possibly not love this book. For one, it's about secret spy kids. For another, it's awesome and hilarious. And finally (as if that weren't enough), it's about chocolate. Need I say more?
I also would like to add that I am pretty sure Pseudonymous Bosch and I are soul mates. It seems from reading this book that his love of dark chocolate is nearly as passionate as mine (from Q&A in the book's appendix: "Q: What is dark chocolate?" "A: Heaven on Earth."), and I think he is missing out on some serious culinary possibilities by not being involved with me either romantically or as BFFs. I think I may have finally found the ideal candidate to eat my pastry creations in trade for editorial comments on my writing. Oh, Pseudonymous--where have you been all my life? Where do you continue to be? Will I ever find out your real name and finally be able to live in bliss with you eternally?
