Here, newly-married Shrek and Fiona travel to "Far, Far Away" (a real place) to meet Fiona's parents - voiced by John Cleese and Julie Andrews - who, in the former case, are initially less-than-pleased with Fiona's choice of partner.
This is also the film to introduce Antonio Banderas Puss in Boots (basically, Zorro) alongside Rupert Everett's Prince Charming and Jennifer Saunder's Fairy Godmother, the latter of whom had previously hatched a plan to put her son (the preening Prince Charming) on the throne, when said son was supposed to have rescued Fiona from the tower in which she was imprisoned in the previous film.
I, personally, this one was the pinnacle of the Shrek franchise.

The narrative was told from multiple sources, I should say. We are able to read what Elizabeth was saying to her followers, while she is doing an online challenge, as well as to read what Scott King uncovers during his interviews. I loved everything about this narrative, the way vampires were incorporated, giving this book a dark and ghostly feeling, the kind of Q&A writing style, and all the twists and discoveries that unravel as we read along. The topics discussed in this book were very dark, troublesome but at the same time very modern and realistic. Such as need of validation, the power of manipulation, abuse and bullying, social exclusion, social degradation and many, many more.
I really loved the setting of this book as well. It is set in Ergarth, a miserable town, that feels forgotten by the world, where unemployment and homelessness thrive, where the trouble is always next to you, and it is haunted by the Vampire Tower. LOVED IT! The whole book is divided into six chapters, and they are quite long, but the story absorbed me so much, that the pages just flew by. (And that comes from a person who despises long chapters
