I was gonna give this book 4.5 stars after reading the ending and I thought it was a beautiful ending. But then the epilogue came and it kinda ruined it for me, still solid 4 stars tough.
The epilogue was just a bit of here are all the answers to all your questions bye. But I don’t know it felt a bit out of place for me.
Pro: I loved loved LOVED reading from Newt’s point of few and his emotions and opinions in a way we never have before.
Con: why did he leave Jonesy that was such a bitch move. That guy helped you out big time Newt, leaving him after everything was messed up imo.

It was a fast and immersive read, I don’t think I’ve ever finished a book this fast. In fact I know I’ve never finished a book this fast. It was a great read and I recommend it and I would read it again, probably.

Update two hours later: I’ll give it 4.5 stars⭐️ after all, it was a good story, really sucked me in and I’m still thinking about it so it deserves that half star even though I didn’t really like the epilogue

I was looking for some escapism and nostalgia with this one but instead I got dissapointment. Not very well-written and this didn't add anything new to the series. Wasn't expecting this as Newt was my favorite character but this just doesn't do anything. Shouldn't have existed in my opinion
