Best character-driven series I’ve ever read. Thank you Backman for the wild ride. I’ll forever be grateful that I got to read your masterpiece.

I just enjoyed the 3 books of this series A LOT. Don’t know anything about hockey but the characters are very well developed. Really good simple story about people who live in snow and near a forest. Hooked from the start till the end of it.

This was a great ending to the Beartown trilogy. By the end, all the loose ends are tied up and we get snapshots of what happens to some of the children later on in life and where they end up. 

As in all small towns, there are secrets, and some of the ones revealed were quite interesting.

It is hard to judge if this would have been as good as a stand-alone book and. honestly, I would have to say no. There is a lot of history between characters by the time you get to the third book. It might be okay but I would advise everyone to start at the beginning with Beartown, to get the whole story. 
 
Whether or not you are a hockey fan, I believe anyone who comes from a small town, or a tight-knit community would understand and really enjoy this series. 

Thank you @netgalley and @simonshusterca for the advanced reading copy.
