This story had a slow start but picked up during the investigation into Jamie’s disappearance. I loved the reappearance of characters and things we learned from the first book. It made the world feel more cohesive and realistic for things that happened in the past to still be affecting the characters in a way we can empathize with and understand. I picked this up almost immediately after finishing AGGGTM, so I recognized a lot of the information that was recalled throughout this story. The trauma the characters undergo was handled in a way that can make readers feel seen. The writing style is unmatched, and I cannot wait to read the last book in the series.
