not sure what to do with myself now that it's over. I went in for a cute, gay romance, which I got to be fair (slow burn, childhood nuisances to lovers. what's not to love), but I also got this intricate plot, deep characters, commentary on second chances, courage, and other things I never expected here, all while being extremely funny somehow? easily one of my favourite series ever

The series as a whole is great. But sadly the final volume is one of the most underwhelming ones. The main story mostly gets wrapped up in a confrontation that's very exposition heavy, monologue heavy and not super satisfying.
I do like the way most of the character arcs end though.
About half of the book is various bonus stories taking place all over the chronology. Some of these are cute, some are **spicy** but really, most of them are pretty skippable and do not add all that much.
