This series is so hard to form coherent thoughts around because it really is so unique and unlike anything else I've read. To quote Ms Olivie Blake herself: "The relationships will be the plot, because relationships are all that matter. They're all we can ever take with us. They're the only real things we leave behind."
I've seen some mixed reviews of this book and I truly don't know what people were expecting having read the first two books? The characters are the focus. Their relationship dynamics are what makes this series interesting. The point of this book is to make you think about our existence. It's a rumination on the meaning of life. Do our choices matter? Is it all worth it?
Does that mean that this series it not for everyone? Absolutely! But I for one actually look forward to rereading this series for the rest of my life!

Other than that I can't believe how bad it was even considering my low expectations from the previous two
Also, for fuck's sake, it doesn't need this many complicated words, some of the oh so ✨✨✨cool✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨smart✨✨✨ sentences that were made exclusively for fancy quotes don't even make sense and only make the text absolutely unnecessarily obscure
