This entire series has permanently changed my brain chemistry and how I view Sci-fi / Fantasy forever! Out of the current three in the series, this one is the one in which I felt less confused, and I felt like I knew more or less what was going on most of the time. Amazing, adorable characters all around, both new and old faces (wink wink...), with Muir's very signature humor as expected. The beginning almost feels like a sitcom -in an apocalyptic setting mind you- but a coming-of-age, found family sitcom nonetheless. And then it escalates SO quickly, and the ending happened, and HOLY JOD!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!? I wish I had the proper words to describe just how great this book is, but I'm quite literally left speechless. So all I'll say is that I love Nona, and Nona loves you too <3

Life is too short and love is too long.

I need this series directly injected into my bloodstream. 

Five stars are not enough, I need to rate this series a whole galaxy worth of constellations.

this is the first time i’ve read this book since it came out in september of 2022 and i forgot how insane the last ~100 pages make me feel. it’s about control. it has been about control and will always be about control.
