i think being able to personally relate to a lot of emmy's experience made the book hit a lot harder for me than the others in this series, because PD managed to portray how it feels to walk on eggshells like that surprisingly accurately. the prose isn't amazing and there were a few spelling/grammar issues (nowhere near as bad as a lot of other DR tho imo) but i found the flashbacks so moving. in most of the other books i found the flashback chapters a bit of a chore to read but i was tearing through these!
i liked damon even more in this book. it might be because his "friendship" with emory felt realistic and pretty natural (especially compared to rika in kill switch lol) so it less like a character assassination than in his book. speaking of rika, i liked her a lot more in nightfall - she also felt more authentic than she did in kill switch! for some reason a lot of alex's scenes and interactions felt somewhat forced or out of character and i can't put a finger on why exactly. there seemed to be a big emphasis on her relationship with will and their past hookups to the point it felt like overkill but
i really liked the characterisation in this book and ended up liking the new characters way more than i expected. i was scared i'd end this book not caring about emmy and will's relationship since he's been obsessed with her since like the first book but it was developed well + i could understand why they fell in love. however, the last bit of the book (and the epilogue) fell a little flat for me and i'm not sure why, other than the pacing. i think it might be because there was so many characters together it was just a lot to keep track of, or something like that? anyways in regards to the

I love Will so much, he is the one guy you really just can’t help but to love and his dynamic with Emory threw me for a loop even though it’s stated throughout the series how he felt.
She annoying me a lot throughout the series but in a very understandable way. In the “just swallow your fear and pride girl and open yourself way. Because Will deserved the world and was so sweet to get always.
This was a very good wrap up to the series and it definitely hints that there may be more to come in this world!
Overall this was my second favorite book but it was very close behind Killswitch. Ugh Pen just has a way of getting me to be obsessed with any story she wants to tell. This has become one of my favorite series of all time, across all genres.
