I cried like 40% of my reading time.
No joke this is a rough one but this series speaks to me on a deep level and this book is by FAR the best. And i say that having rated thd other 2 books 5⭐️ as well.
The character arcs. The deep messages about the radical nature of forgivness and the continuous work of a good life. The hope.
Chefs kiss. 5 stars. Hell 6 stars.

This book was 8 hours too long. Everything with the trips to the enclaves, unraveling the mystery, and saving Orion was great. I liked the resolution of the book except for there being no karmic retribution for crimes against humanity. You can kill whoever you want basically?Things that should have been left out. The acid trip with Yancy, all the time spent finding entrances to enclaves and the scholomance (we get it is an illusion and a maze), the whole side story with Liesel. None of this improved the story and made it tedious.
