I've already read this before, but it was a joy to reread. I love rereading kotlc books as I always forget details and it feels like the first time reading them everytime.
It was a slow read but that could just be me not in a reading mode. The end part always has a quicker pace.
But omg I hate fitz with a passion in this book he's such a prick. I think Shannon perfectly paints the picture of their relationship not being 'right' without a whole kiss scene like with dex. I loved how they fixed it tho by becoming friends in the end.
Keefe's struggles with his family and self are so good I love analysing them. I love keefe so much!

Coming off the ending of the last book, I was eager to jump straight into this one. Not only might we finally get the answers to some deep-seated questions we've been pondering from the very beginning, but we might get to advance the romance! So without further ado...

Overall, this was equal parts frustrating and rewarding. I enjoyed the cast expansion while also being disappointed that some characters fell by the wayside; the more compact timeline allowed for better pacing, yet it was still packed-to-bursting with so many plot elements that it was easy to lose focus; and the portrayals of the romance and trauma both had ups and downs, but as they're largely unresolved I feel I still have to delay judgement. Since this series is largely an overarching epic, it's hard to pin down some of the depictions as good, bad, or otherwise when they're ultimately incomplete. About all I am sure of is that this book was one helluva ride from start to finish, and I can't wait to jump into the next one.
