Well... this surprised me. Even after seeing all the reviews raving about how great it was, I remained a little skeptical.

I must admit, this exceeded my expectations. It took me a while to catch on to what was happening, but I did- even before part 3. AND without skimming ahead, which was a huge struggle.

After all the secrets were revealed I was curious on how this would end. And I’m very happy that it didn’t disappoint me. Especially since this felt like I was careening down a rollercoaster- so thank goodness it wasn’t anticlimactic in the end.

My heart did break for Lee and Brant.

And I did spend 99% of the story thinking of Layana as evil. Even at the end, she didn’t exactly redeem herself. Her selfishness irked me. And yea I know it all made sense at the end, but still in the moment her actions were self-indulgent.
