I am utterly shattered after this book.

I love Samantha Shannon’s world building. It needs to be said after every book.

I did find this book a bit repetitive, I wanted things to change a bit more rather than the same patterns on repeat. That being said I loved the ending!

WHY would Paige not have tried to enter Arcturus’ dreamscape when she thinks he’s switched sides??? As a reader it was such an obvious ploy, it was painful to see her not use any of her skills to dig a little deeper. And even after she did, she saw him come back for a moment and didn’t question that? That whole thing was just kinda annoying. We got past him being untrustworthy several books ago.

I don't know how Samantha Shannon does it but somehow every book in this series has been better than the last.

It is not the only comment I have, but it is my most immediate one - Samantha Shannon watched Buffy season two, didn’t she?
