 “I didn't understand then that a home is not always a place. Sometimes, it's a person.”

I'm finally done with this series! I'm going to go into This Woven Kingdom next, I think I might like it more than this series just because it's more recent and Persian inspired fantasy. Anyways, I liked this novella, and I miss Warner's pov. I thought that the wedding would be shown but alas, it got cut off. Warner was still being moody which I didn't like. But the bromance between Warner and Kenji was nice. But now that I'm done, this series was a wild ride, and it wasn't a good series but it was entertaining, which is all I want sometimes.

A suitable ending for the overall vibe of this series, which certainly was a series that I read every single book of. Vaguely baffling, bad but good at the same time, I was deeply uninvested but it also inspired real emotions in me almost accidentally. I genuinely don’t even know what to say about this series.

I loved this novella and could read it again and again, which is no surprise because I eat up anything to do with Warner. The Warner/Kenji dynamic is perfect. And I love Dog.

THE WEDDING! AHH! I adore Warner and this whole book was just so sweet. The WORST is when everyone basically shits on Warner like wtf. Praise Mafi for writing the wedding tho. Us peons can only dream to find a Warner.

As much as I love Warnette, the first half of the book dragged and I was kind of bored. Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron, but his negative mindset is difficult to read about. I also still don't understand Aaron's need to be so rude to everyone, but then again the whole first half was just everyone shitting on him. Again, I would've loved to see the dynamics of other characters like Brendan + Winston, Nazeera + Kenji and Adam + Alia. The wedding was sweet, although I wouldn't have minded seeing more of them living together in their new house with DOG, with Kenji as the neighbour of course. I love how we saw the growth of the friendship between Aaron and Kenji with a very beautiful scene at the end.

Reads like an epilogue for the final book but had multiple open door scenes. If you are big fans of the main characters you might enjoy it, felt unnecessary for me.
