Could hardly put it down! Unlike the previous two books in the series, the stakes remain per high for the entire book. It doesn’t really feel like there’s a climax so much as several climaxes as El grows and gains an understanding of the nature of the enclaves. Lots of time spent on explanations. Ties the whole series up very nicely, and doesn’t leave any loose ends. Naomi clearly did a very thorough mapping of the series before beginning!
Graphic: Cursing and Death
Moderate: Body horror, Violence, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Child death, Gore, Suicidal thoughts, Torture, Blood, Grief, Death of parent, Murder, and Classism
