I didn't remember liking this book as much as I did when I reread it.
This book is slower than some of the others in the series, but it also has some of the best moments and impactful events as well and I think Shannon Messenger did a good job balancing Sophie's struggle to face this increasingly high stakes world with lighter moments. Keefe was everything in here and remains one of my favorite characters
