this is the book where I’m finally really invested in the story, and feel like I have (almost?) all the information. (Foolish I know). I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone’s stories develop after the plot altering last 15 chapters. 😮

Loved the start and end of this book! The middle was a bit slow, mostly being a very long training and sleuthing montage, but the characters were enjoyable enough to carry me through (particularly Manon, this book was a great introduction to her character). Overall, it’s left me excited to see how the story continues!
