Honestly a beautiful haunting book. Every new chapter you learn something and gradually, more and more things keep going wrong.
I genuinely don't get this series keeps improving. Maeve is so violently a teenager girl that I feel like I am back at school. And the metaphors! They are beautiful.
And the complexities of Fiona's identity. Not relegated to a best-friend archetype, but give the freedom within the narrative to explore and grow.
I also loved the graudla shift of Lily and Maeve's relationship. How forgiveness has to be earned and rituals can't fix years of neglect and mistreatment.
