Maybe my expectations were too high after reading the first 2 books, but one of us is back didn’t feel like a complete end to the trilogy for me. The mystery element didn’t start until the 2nd half of the book, and I wish the loose ends were wrapped up more conclusively. The characters are still⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ though.
