[audiobook]

while this didn't end exactly how i hoped it would've, i personally enjoyed it as a sequel and as an ending to the series (and tbf, it wasn't entirely a surprise). i really vibed with gong's writing -- as with the previous book, i think she struck a great balance of emotional resonance and development, along with exposition. both romances were almost exactly my vibe and kept me on my toes in anticipation.

while i admire gong's ability to move the plot along, always having something going on that the characters are inciting or catching up with, i think there was a little too much going on here, and the monster plot suffered a little for it. and though i did really enjoy the multiple pov's, (view spoiler)

also, as with the last book, the audiobook narrator was great, but her choice to harshly whisper dynamic (loud/intense) dialogue was distracting.
