“Sometimes great things come at a great price.”

When I saw this quote, the first thing I thought about was: Yeah. Because of this series, I have lost wwwaaayyy too much sleep. Constantly thinking and dreaming about creepy/murderous animatronic puppets and scary looking dolls. Thinking about all the times I went to Chuck-E-Cheese as a kid and watched those musical puppets sing and dance. Trusting that they were fake and not controlled by a human body. That they weren’t going somehow come alive and attack everyone. Frequently checking to see that they were secured and bolted down tight on that stage. Just writing about this has my anxiety on 💯💯💯.😂😂😂.

Honestly though. As much of a scaredy cat 🙀 🙀🙀 as I am, I truly enjoy this entire series. However, out of all three books, this finale was by far my favorite. The fright was intensified. The artwork looked more realistic. And the characters seemed more tolerable. Oooh. Let’s not forget the plot twist. Talk about a mind blowing ending. Where I felt slightly lost and confused sometimes in the first two novels, this finale tied everything together and ended with a POW. 💥💥💥. Plus, I literally finished this in one day. YAY ME!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I think this had the most interesting plot of the trilogy, but the ending was confusing. I’m gaslighting myself into thinking it made sense which is cool.

• "What are you doing?" he whispered to Michael, who looked up from his drawing at last.
"I have to put them back together." Michael said. •

Meine Kritik zum Zeichenstil bleibt bestehen. Auch die Ambiguität des Endes bleibt auf der Strecke, da man die Szene sehen kann.

Insgesamt aber ein netter Weg, in überschaubarer Zeit die gesamte Story (in abgespeckter Form) noch mal zu erleben.

[Northlake Public Library District · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third and last book in the Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy. This book takes place six months after the second one. It begins with a recap of the Twisted Ones ending, in which Charlie is presumed dead, primarily by John because he witnessed her death in front of him. Even though Charlie showed up not long after that incident, John still remembers what happened and believes that it was not Charlie. He has also distanced himself from his friends and Charlie and has not gone back to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Restaurant. He starts to become even more suspicious of Charlie when they go on a date and she can't remember details of what happened that night. He is friends with the police chief and they are investigating new disappearances of children. At the same time, there is a new restaurant called Circus Baby's Pizza that uses animatronics and is very similar to Freddy Fazbear's. John reluctantly teams up with Jessica, Marla, and Caralton to investigate the restaurant and find the missing children. One strength that I saw with this graphic novel was that the illustrations for this book were very detailed, which gave me different feelings for each character when I read it. One weakness that I saw with this graphic novel is that it had a weak ending because after Charlie and the other Charlie are killed, he goes to her grave only to find another Charlie animatronic there. In conclusion, I would rate this book a 9/10. It is a very good read, the characters are great, the story is good and has a lot of twists and turns, but I would recommend reading the previous 2 books before reading this one.

WHOAH I was not expecting that. The end kinda made me sad tho. And what kind of father would make his daughter a literal DOLL. Like I know he is sad but like WHY.

[Grayson Barrett · Rating 3 out of 5]

I dont really understand how it's possible for a girl to go her whole life without realizing she's a robot but go off i guess

[Shay Vande · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series really confused the lore a lot. Even trying to see it as it's own universe/story, it was a tough sell and confusing on its own. I give some points to the art and the adaptation of the novels to this (the 2nd and 3rd volume did much better than the 1st).

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the series, but if you're a diehard fan looking at every work for hints towards the true plot of FNAF overall, many theorists have cited at least a couple of things shown in these books that are not as clear in the games, so it might be worth it just for the sake of consideration and further theorizing.

[Ashley Polo · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was not it. It just kinda made the series feel weird and pointless. The pictures helped a bit, but it’s still confusing and weird. I did not really enjoy it like I thought I would.

[Corbin · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Dakota Michael Basinger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Key points I found interesting

-Charlotte was an animatronic creation with the doll Ella stored inside her she was created because her father Henry lost his daughter and tried to replace her with an animatronic replica of his dead child.


-William Afton created animatronics so that he could find immortality after death to be reincarnated as a machine.

-William Afton was still alive all those years after FNAF pizzeria first opened all the way until sister location was made, the children served Afton as animatronic slaves, continued to kill and kidnap others to do his dirty work. The children’s souls haunted the suits that he stuffed them in, He manipulated the children who were unaware of how they actually died until Carlton went to stop it once and for all doing justice for his dead brother Michael. Carlton drew them a picture describing the “bad man” (William Afton) causing his own creations to turn on him.



-Circus baby is Emily / charlotte ending was a little confusing when the grave stone read the name “Charolette Emily” 1980-1983

My questions about the ending

❓Was “Charolette Emily” Henry’s daughter?
❓How did Henry’s daughter die?
❓Was there ever a real human “Charlie” at all?
❓What animatronic does Michael haunt ?
❓How does circus baby know about Henry’s daughter if Elizabeth was the one who haunts this animatronic, because she was made by Afton not Henry?
❓lastly more of a theoretical question did Henry or Afton create Circus Baby to trap “Elizabeth” potentially being Henry’s actual daughter whom Henry grieved over.

Little bit confusing not a bad book though
Circus baby is one of my favorite animatronics in the FNAF series her back story is very interesting.

I enjoyed the graphic novel. The story fills gaps from the previous books, and even sets up parts for the newer books. This book also gives fans an idea of some fun custom creations to make. The idea that there's an animatronic that is perceived as a human due to a small chip is both terrifying and interesting. While the last book played more on actual scary looking robots, this book played more on the fear of clowns and the fifth game. The fact that multiple "Charlies" existed was also quite shocking. Also that it was like teenagers who had to face these nightmarish creations makes the story more creepy. This also told me to not trust any restaurant owners named William. This graphic recreation of the story was a great visual experience into what FNAF is turning to. All in all, I'm excited to read the next few stories as I enter the Fazbear Frights books.

[Luna Jordan · Rating 2 out of 5]

The art style was nice.

The details in this one are, like, a mixture of vague and overly done.

The story was even more confusing than the last, halfway through. Charlie was an animatronic the entire time. The plot twist wasn’t very surprising after the last novel. Glad all the novels tie in the little details about how not human Charlie is. Some confusion from the last novel has vanished; I understand now.

Death happened. Nothing new there.

Did there really have to be another Charlie at the end? :/

It was meh; not as good as the first, but not as bad as the second. I wasn’t entirely bored this time. I also wasn’t all that interested.

[Smack · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m disappointed on the way the ending in this book is presented. I feel like there were certain things that were given little to no explanation and it felt like there were too many loose ends by the conclusion of this book.

I get that the creator of the fnaf games was involved with the making of this book but I just didn’t like this book’s take on the sister location characters, especially Circus Baby. I also don’t like the interpretation of Henry in this series either. I kinda liked how in the game despite all the shit he went through he still kept being a generally good person with a clear head and I’m disappointed in his characterization in this book.

[squeakers · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh. My. God.



The amount of sadness I feel-
AND THAT LAST SCENE
WHERE HE VISITS HER GRAVE???

WAS THE OTHER WOMAN AN ILLUSION TOO?
DID HE NOT GET TO LIVE HAPPY WITH HER??
WHAT ABOUT JESSICA AND MARLA AND CARLTON??
DO THEY JUST
NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLIE???
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

Cinder broke my heart into millions of pieces
and this book broke those pieces even more

Sam nie wiem. Poprzednie tomy były świetnym dopełnieniem książek, ale ten wydaje się chaotyczny i pośpieszony. Do tego mam wrażenie, że czasami coś mieszało się w dialogach i postaci mówiły nie to, co powinny.

The ending is confusing but the art is AMAZING rly impressed me the improvement is definitely there 👍👍 liked the story but i felt theres some things missing im gonna read the books when ever i get my hands on them and hopefully the ending might make more sense

Noooo what was this end 😭😭 INSANE, HAD ME SOBBING

[Alan · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5/5 stars

In some ways I think this book is the best of the three but also still pretty rough.

To start on the bright side, the art has once again increased to be much more refined comparatively and the story feels much more exciting and fast paced.
On the other hand, wow we really just start doing shit, huh.
I can't act like the logic in the book makes sense, but it was the most fun read of the three! In terms of simple logic, the first book is probably the best, but in terms of just wild stuff constantly happening, this book definitely kept my attention more

[Ataberk · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art style of this one was better than the other Graphic Novels. Beside the others, it has a good art style, too. Story was amazing. I really liked the story. But I still recommend to read the novel ones first.

Had me in tears! This was a fantastic last instalment for the five night at Freddy’s series. No matter how much I cried lol

I think William Afton should start running people over with his car.
