such a shattering cliffhanger in book two, and for what?
this book has 400 pages and i kid you not, around 300 were horribly uninteresting. the whole first half of the book was useless rambling - boring, uninspiring and devastatingly dry.
the twist and reveal and all that were fun and had potential, the delivery however was super unexciting and the wow-moment shadowed by the absolute nothingness the whole rest of the book was. great concept, such poor execution.
and don't even get me started on the ending.
the ending was the most frustrating thing ever. like yeah, we all love a happy ending, but
also, watching all the conflict and problems get solved in a little godlike act 20 pages before the end made me want to claw my eyes out.
there were a couple of scenes and happenings that hooked me for a few pages, a chapter at best - for example
i loved book one and two, and the author's catchy and quick writing style didn't disappoint in this one either, but the story - tragic.

I cried like 40% of my reading time.
No joke this is a rough one but this series speaks to me on a deep level and this book is by FAR the best. And i say that having rated thd other 2 books 5⭐️ as well.
The character arcs. The deep messages about the radical nature of forgivness and the continuous work of a good life. The hope.
Chefs kiss. 5 stars. Hell 6 stars.

Things that should have been left out. The acid trip with Yancy, all the time spent finding entrances to enclaves and the scholomance (we get it is an illusion and a maze), the whole side story with Liesel. None of this improved the story and made it tedious.
