THE ENDING. especially the extended epilogue.

the trauma of religion is so real. The sex work is so real. The abusive relationships are so real. The ableism is so real. The ending made me choke up a little.

Probably my least favourite out of the series, seems to be longer than the other books and more about the villain feels rather than intimate scenes
