Toxic relationship is in reference to a familial relationship. Also, in case there's anyone else out there that also gets freaked out by foreign objects going into someone's facial orifices,

there is a scene toward the end of the book where spectral bees are flying into Meg's nose, mouth, ears and tear ducts. Then a bit later in the chapter, they go into Apollo, and he says he can feel them ricocheting around his respiratory system. Meg's description is only one sentence, while Apollo's is few more lines.

Much better

You see minor improvements of Apollo’s character by the end of the first book but he gets much better in this one. It was nice to see Leo again! I love his humor. This book was exciting and dark and everything in between. I hope this isn’t the last we see of the Waystation.

I just can’t. I didn’t enjoy book one, I’m not enjoying book two. I don’t care what’s happening in the story and don’t care to continue even just to see what happens. I also dread picking this book up, sigh when I see how many pages I have left, and can’t seem to remember what I’ve read.

11/21 reread review:
I only picked this back up because Rick announced a book About Nico but it picks up at the end of this series so obviously I have to finish the series so I can read the long awaited Nico book. Now I’m still at this moment in time have a physical copy but I grabbed it from the library is an audiobook to help me speed through it. I finished it in two days, and really didn’t like it all that much… ugh. It feels so weird for me disliking a wreck book so much let alone a wreck series but I’m just not Vibing with the series is at all which is also kind of ironic/almost funny because I just bought his daughters of the deep book that just came out I bought it on pre-order but I’ve told myself I can’t pick that one up until I finish this series soooooo here we go.
