adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense

5.0

I just love these books. I never remember a single thing about the plot, but I do love how intricate the stories are and how incredible the world building is. I’m just here for Strike and Robin.

His declaration of love at the very end…my god I might never recover. Need the next book NOW!

I think I loved this one best in the series, even though the writer is an awful person. I keep getting back to their work, a literal guilty pleasure

Although I love long books and getting to return to them every night for a couple of months (I read before bed and often fall asleep after a couple of pages), this could have been edited and shortened. With that said, this was much better than the last one in the series. That one had so many cases going on at the same time, I can’t even remember what the main plot was. (Never mind, I remember now). This one was focused though. Thankfully. It still suffered from a lot of useless details. I found myself skimming at times.

Anyway, the plot is well-woven and immersive. I felt like I was in that cult with Robin the entire time.

Her escape from it was one of the most exciting scenes in this entire series.

Pat is now my favorite side character. Murphy can eat dirt. I’m proud of Strike and how he’s trying to be better in every sense. Robin is the true backbone of the story, always reliable and kind and smart, although, at times, I wish she wouldn’t be so courageous, not to say reckless. Her decisions make me tense. 

I gave this book that extra .25 stars because I cannot believe

he finally said it!

I had promised myself I wouldn’t give this lady more of my money, but apparently that’s out the window now. How long until the next one?
