Such a good series, and incredible author.

This book though was more slow and boring at the start, leading up to a big dramatic ending. 

You will definitely want to read the books in order.

Oh Well

There was a bit more Warner, which was great. But mostely its just juliette doing something she shouldn’t be doing, and we all know it. And then just the collapsing bruding “you always lie to me” again and again. I’m tired of asylum Juliette and I’m tired of the most earth shattering sucking clif hangers at the end of the books. So yeah. That’s where we at. 
Mostly I think it was okay because the last one was great. But I hope it’ll be better now she is nolonger kidding herself.
