This book was definitely an improvement from the last one in the series. I was hanging on to every word.
Warning: there is a storyline that begins in the first book that I knew was going to develop more and more into something bad as the series went on. Something that couldn’t be stopped even in fiction. I can’t remember the last time I’ve sobbed that hard over something not related to deaths in my family. Just a warning. It’s pretty explicit in my content warnings.
But I still ended this book on an up note because that’s what these books do for me. And I still laughed out loud at lots of passages even after the Bad Thing.
