i have loved every step of the way.
will say tho this was an... odd? way to end the story.
not necessarily "odd".... moreso... anticlimactic. idk how else i expected the story to end based on what had been set up in the last book but... idk i expected more?
other than that this book was everything i had dreamed for.
never had i thought when i first randomly took this book home from my school's library as a prize in 2018, it would turn into one of my favourite series.
this book was 100% fan service and tbh im not even mad. like look at the moscowverse & tell me its not fanservice 💀
i loved the communication between universes, and i loved the insane overlap between who was in who.
plus my god some things that happened? like the romeverse? jesus picturing that felt like a drug trip.
i like the epilogue, it was very cute & sweet.
ending with the home office universe was a tad anticlimactic & wicked felt a bit too much of a caricature at times, but yet again i cant be too mad because i had fun!
this series might join my Elite List™️ of series i've finished and then actively sought out fan-fiction for (the list is short - it only contains netflix's lucifer).
i will be dreaming of marguerite and paul tonight god bless

Like, man, I just have never felt any chemistry on the page with her big love (which makes it hard to care or cheer for them) and soooo many of their interactions just feel like melodramatic angst for angst's sake more than anything. There were some good moments between them (or versions of them) along the way, but I honestly found myself mostly rolling my eyes and wanting them to just not be a thing - push them aside and get to the rest of the story. And I also felt like most of their interactions in this book in particular were very repetitive on top of melodramatic. I loved the romantic element and wanted to love THEM as a couple, but just never got there.
My other quibble is really the last chapter
Despite my quibbles though, I definitely liked this overall better than the 2nd book, and it felt like a worthy conclusion, complete with a nice wrap-up epilogue at the end, which was satisfying to see loose ends or stories/universes get one more mention/conclusion. There were certainly some great moments in this and moments that threw me for a loop, which was great to read. Overall, a cool series, and a good (if bumpy, or eye-rolling at times) ride.
And of course, it technically doesn't matter, but gotta mention the cover art again. I want to keep the books just for the gorgeous covers, if no other reason. 😂
