Despite being the penultimate entry, the book offers no comforting resolutions or easy answers. The storyline is increasingly complex, with a heavy focus on the ambiguity of morality and the futility of absolute justice.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Death, Emotional abuse, Violence, Kidnapping, and Abandonment
The book frequently addresses how well-intentioned actions can have disastrous consequences. There are themes of loyalty being tested, and characters are forced into morally compromising situations, especially in the final act when they must decide whom to trust and whether to act against their own values.strawberrytheauthor's review against another edition

Somehow this series managed to surprise me even though I’ve watched it all. Reading it is completely different and I love that. Both the book and tv show are fabulous on their own and together, it’s very interesting to see how the stories differ and how the mysteries unravel in the books.

The exploration of what good and evil really is and the massive grey area in between is really interesting and the way this novel explores that is so amazing, especially for a kids book. On top of that, the setting is really cool and that ending...just perfect. Alright, time for the last one :0!
