Final book in a series that I absolutely loved. Spensa, Doomslug, and Mbot are some of my favorite characters of all time.
I have to say though, the first third of this book was suuuuuper slow. It seemed to be this attempt at character development for Spensa with her warring feelings of needing to do things on her own and not wanting to hurt or leave behind those she loves. Great in theory, but the execution was just like SO obvious and redundant. Way to much time spent on Spensa's inner thoughts.
The last half of the book though kicked ass. So fast paced, so fun. I loved the ending. Made me cry so that's a win.
SPOILER INCOMING:
MUSHROOM BOT?!?! I LOVE IT.
