This book was a great ending to the trilogy. I think that, by itself, it’s not that great, but as a part of the trilogy, it has its role and it works really well. I’m happy to know that Julie is alive and I’m hopeful she’ll get some sort of life at the end of this. It also gives us more infos on the last 2 books and I thought that all the callbacks were nice.

À lire en tant que trilogie, pas en tant que roman seul!

The missing star is because I found the end predictable by the middle ofthe book, as well as a couple phrases that seemed sexist for no reason. Other than that, the book was great and took me only 2 days to read.
