I loved the reveal of why he chose Avery tbh. It makes a lot of sense and lines up with Tobias’ previous actions and all the people he let fall to protect his own interests. It really added to his character to me. He was kind of built up to be this larger than life benevolent person but he was deeply flawed and really not that special, just lucky and smart
I kept expecting Alisa or Nash to be a secret villain by reading book 1 and 2 and book 3 disappointed me so much, I expected a better plot twist and more shock value.
Tobias Hawthorne also choose her because there was so many factors about her that make her perfect for the role. Like you said she is technically a target but she also was in the perfect place at the wrong time. Toby was very fond of Avery’s mother and he knew how incredibly talented and intelligent she is. Tobias also was just a bit of a backstabber in general.
I read the first two books, DNF’d the third, came here just to see how it ends and I am confused as hell 😂 Unfortunately I think the author made the plot after the first book waaay too complicated.
Have you seen that another book is coming out: “The Brothers Hawthorne”? What do you think about that, tbh i was kinda ready to be done with the series
Yeah I was surprised when I saw it! I’m not sure how I feel about it because I was also ready to be done with the series so honestly it might be a skip for me.
Same, that's why I'm here to have a recap of the story. She gives nice summary. I am so eager to read the next book. What it would be about. And I am so excited to read more of Jameson and Grayson . I became a fan of their fab duo since their fight in that photography charity place for Avery.
@@meghangaddisreads I do understand. This trilogy, towards it's ending didn't come out to be that much believable. But I just read it like a normal book and I like having this confusing and cliff hanging plots in the books i read. Quite a fan of love triangles , young adult stories and escape room type of plots.
bro, to me this entire series just went downhill after the first book. the plot of the first one was great, i loved the first book so much i read the second and third one right away. those were like a 3 star rating for me, they just didn’t have the same magic and it got too complicated. the brothers hawthorne finally came out and i was super excited to read it, but i forgot basically everything that happened in the other books so i had to watch the summary videos to understand. I started the brothers hawthorne and it drove me into a huge reading slump so i DNF’d it, but now i’m trying to read it again and i’m watching these videos again. I just wish the author didn’t stretch out the plots so much, it gets boring after a while.
Really solid review! My only comment is in reference to your statement that Max's character didn't have any impact on the overall plot. I'd like to point out that it was Max who called in her doctor mom in The Hawthorne Legacy who nursed Avery back to health after the bomb incident. That was pretty significant. I do agree that she doesn't provide much more storyline contribution than that though.
I just finished The Brothers Hawthorne and tbh I think people who don’t like it just don’t understand it. I loved the series and thought it made sense. For me this is my ranking: 1. The Hawthorne Legacy 2. The Brothers Hawthorne 3. The Inheritance Games 4. The Final Gambit I personally loved all the books though. I thought it got better but it’s really just preference in my opinion.
Technically Max was an important character. Though not needed in the main plot. But come on! Definitely in this mumbo jumbo Avery needed someone to talk to and release her stress, be a simple girl that she was back in her old school. Bcz she couldn't trust anyone here in the Hawthorne house and that crazy new school. Atleast at the beginning. And come on it's a young adult book, she needs a bestieee
I was forced to listen to all 3 coz of a significant another, and honestly , it started good, but then it just went below mediocre. And no offence to any girls, but the story was written with young girls in mind, cause the whole love part was too forced and honestly too much of the good things that would be expected in a book of this setting was simply replaced with romance snd isolated puzzles that work in that situation of people thinking themselves smarter than the world whole being completely ignorant(i am talking about boys, not the old man, the old man was truly smart). Snd at the end where she gave away the money with that charity stunt, yeah, only in fantasy novels, she could have used that as a basic for a lot things, and started a completly new legacy, but she did what would feel right, not what could have been right. But thats the book, a feel good book, not a good book.
I think you can be a billionaire and moral. How much money you have is irrelevant. If you're moral you're moral. The economy isn't a zero sum game. If a billionaire didn't make their money, it doesn't mean that money would be nicely spread out to people who need it magically. Unless you made it illegally of course. But if it was legal, it meant that people were willing to give you it for whatever product or service you offered.
Im happy she ended yup with Jameson to be honest. With Grayson he was still on emily and when he saw eve he got hooked.
True true like jennifer did grayson so dirty😫
Exactlyyy omg. If Grayson had moved on from Emily, he would've dated Avery. And that's exactly what Jameson had told Avery.
yeah that’s true but not the eve part bc later on he started wanting eve to be avery
@@euphoriya09 Yes! Grayson didnt move on, he was still hooked on the past
@@aditalingam3488 thats true, but remember eve looked like Emily. He never got over Emily, so when eve came along, he instantly liked her.

I just finished and I loved the book even though the “old man” being so smart he planned the future out didn’t really make sense lol

You did a very good job explaining the book plot. I recently completed the book and I loved your review.
I read the first two books, DNF’d the third, came here just to see how it ends and I am confused as hell 😂 Unfortunately I think the author made the plot after the first book waaay too complicated.
Thank you for this. I'm not sure I can make it to the end of the third book... but now I feel like I have.
I'm with you word for word! You have the perfect pace of conversation for me. I get it! Thank you 😊🧡

Hi I just want to share this is not the last book there is one more in the series it's called The Hawthorne Brothers
This book was basically a korean thriller drama but add in the spice of poorly written romantic subplot aka the love triangle and riddles
bro, to me this entire series just went downhill after the first book. the plot of the first one was great, i loved the first book so much i read the second and third one right away. those were like a 3 star rating for me, they just didn’t have the same magic and it got too complicated. the brothers hawthorne finally came out and i was super excited to read it, but i forgot basically everything that happened in the other books so i had to watch the summary videos to understand.

can I just add that Max was the one who referenced them to the Bible when they got the numbers. seems pretty significant for me too!
im honestly devastated avery didn’t end up with grayson but i am glad that she’s happy w jamie
I totally feel that they also would have been so cute together
@@meghangaddisreads yeaa
SAME
Omg thank you for this
I loved the concept of this story but feel it could easily have been told in one book :)
What are your thoughts on book 4 (The Brothers Hawthorn)? I’m sure you’ve lost interest as it’s been a year…but, if you’ve read it. Please share!
