an entire school is bombed, and a lot of the book focuses on the main characters' grief for people they knew and for not having been thereduchess16's review against another edition

I do wish he hadn't slightly over-exaggerated her menstrual cycle and such, I know it is complicated but he played it very unrealistic to meSpoiler
WHY DIDNT HE DEVELOP THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GEM MOOOORE!!! I needed them to have SOME sort of satisfying romantic twist at the end, I feel like Riordan missed out on that part *sigh*Graphic: Death of parent, Death, and Injury/injury detail

I really liked all the different representation (I think Rick is getting better at the represention thing and it’s very nice) but I also think this might be the first book I’ve read that has the female MC actually get her period and have it effect her day-to-day stuff, which I was really happy about seeing.
One note I have is that it felt kinda cliffhanger-y (and we know Rick loves those cliffhangers) but at the same time it… doesn’t feel that way? Like I feel as if that last chapter was saying both “hey there’s gonna be more “ but also “it’s the end but it’s up to your interpretation what happens next” and I don’t really like that. I’m pretty sure this has been marketed as a standalone so I’m assuming it’ll stay that way but I do think it could end up being a series or a duology or something. Good book though :)
