3.0

I was going to give this 2 stars, just because this was way too tense and unpleasant for my tastes, but Jennifer very generously made it up to us in the last few chapters, so I bumped it back up to 3.

FTR, the sexual assault in this book is not explicit, it is quite vaguely described, but I still found it disturbing and quickly skimmed over the two worst ones.

This could have been 200 pages shorter. It's sooooo slow and nothing really happens. Also, a lot of the same phrases are used over and over again. A decent editor could have made it so much better.

the series could have ended here and I'd be happy with the character developments and plot resolutions.<Spoiler> JLA has one final book for this series coming out may 7, 2024. It's nice to know that's there's a release date already planned so fans don't have to wait ad infinitum for the resolution of the series

2.5

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry for the 2.5 stars (I love you Sera and Ash!!) but I wasn’t the biggest fan of like the first 400 pages tbh. There’s just too much talking:(
The rest was great and all but idk this did feel kind of unnecessary and too loooong.
Best thing about this book was Attes’ character being explored more.
