After all that waiting, that's all we get to see of Simon and Meg's relationship? Even ignoring that, I still didn't like this book. It's full of letters that are clearly just filler. It has a ridiculous premise for why the new bad guy, Jimmy, is allowed to hang around. It's emotionally flat. It has an OBSCENE focus on food (no, really, I'm not making that up). This is a very sad ending for a series where I really liked the premise and the first two books. Oh well.

Not the best in the series. Full review to come closer to release date.

Overall a good book. I do not know if this will be the last book in her series. However it ended in a way that it could be the end of the series or there could be many more books to. Having said that at times the plot seemed to lag a little but that could have been from all the loose ends that got tied up at the end.

A fitting end to the series, with a mix of personal and worldwide peril. I wish there had been more time to sit with the characters after the climax, but you can't have everything.

I enjoyed this book though there wasn't as much action as in the previous ones. This book was more about connections and relationships which Ms. Bishop explored with her usual style.

I love these books. The ending is so cute. I really wish that we had more Meg and Simon. This was my second time reading the series and I enjoyed it just as much. 

Amazing. The world is fascinating. The characters are well rounded. Fantasy setting with real truths about humanity (both the best and the worst). I Love this series and reread it frequently as I never tire of the story or characters.
