Still loving the reread of this series. There was some key events that I had forgotten about since my first read through. Those events did take me by surprise, so it was enjoyable to be surprised or caught off guard with a reread.

I cannot wait to get to the last book and finish the series.

Despite not being my favourite book in the series, Cress still managed to deliver a similarly impacting continuation to the storyline of the characters, both old and new.  Now, more than ever, does the heaviness of this story begin to come together, with even more action and drama than ever before.  Recommend to anyone already in love with series, or to those looking for a quiet, relatable main character who comes out of her shell alongside a cocky spaceship captain, and turns herself into the greatest hacker and asset the Rampion crew can ask for.  Full of escapes, cross-country desert treks and survival, this book will further your love for the series entirely.

Rapunzel on a satellite is just a fun concept. A bit longer than it needed to be, but I enjoyed the story and am curious to see how it ends.
