Harlem appears to be a much friendlier place to live in than London - at least Lena is able to be around more black people and doesn’t have to pretend to be (in her case) Italian. But there are also many differences. Lena learns that all is not well or ideal in Harlem.
Lena’s search for family related to her father is interesting. She’s desperate to find someone from her father’s side of the family after the disastrous journey to the US. She feels more alone and longs for her own family - and her mother’s side is out of the question.
I thoroughly enjoyed this: the lifestyle of black people in Harlem, their work ethic, their community and music is so well described (despite the murder!). Lena is an interesting character, and I do hope this isn’t it for her - I’d love to know what happens after her potential return to London.

That being said the film is still very fun, and the writers keeps the twists coming that we've come to enjoy in the previous films. Eddie Redmayne and Dan Fogler were superb in this film, with Fogler honestly stealing the show this time around.
Unfortunately other actors did let the film down.
Firstly, the main culprit: Jude Law. Sadly in this film he can't seem to maintain control of his accent. All throughout the film, Law speaks with his normal English accent, but for some unknown reason the actor seems to add a strong Irish twang to random words. These take the viewer completely off guard and do distract.
Secondly, Mads Mikkelsen. But I would like to point out that this is not his fault. Due to him replacing Johnny Depp, the two different Grindelwald's seem very different in terms of personality and style. These differences are enough to make Mads' portrayal of Grindelwald quite jarring.
Overall though, overlooking the unusual accents and casting issues, the film is excellent, and continues the story perfectly!
Enjoy! :)

My poor, poor heart has been put through the ringer with this book! I was apprehensive about this book, I had heard mixed reviews and it honestly took me a while to get into it but I am so glad I stuck with it because it got so much better! There was one plot twist that took me by surprise and then there was another one! AND THEN THERE WAS A THIRD PLOT TWIST AS WELL! It also ended on a cliffhanger because, of course it did!
Fans of The Hunger Games will definitely enjoy this! It is similar, but I found that there were enough differences that it didn't feel like an exact copy.
I will say that you should be prepared to find it a bit slow at times, but honestly the second half of this book is so action packed and fast paced it makes it so worth it!
I need to read the sequel immediately! I hope it's just as good!
As an added bonus, the physical hardcover is beautiful, the end papers are pretty and the dust jacket is shimmery! Plus in all the editions there is a map which I always like in books!
