I’ve been avoiding this book since it was published simply because I didn’t want their story to end. I’ve grown to love these characters so much and letting them go, well, it’s hard. I loved getting to know Adrian, who was a baby when the first and second book took place. And I loved getting to see Monty and Felicity back. I would’ve loved to see more of Percy, but this series is called the Montague Siblings for a reason! Oh, the ending HAD ME in tears, but happy ones! I really enjoyed this book and it was a great way for me to wrap up my August reads!!

This might be my favorite of the series. I didnt expect the third book to be such a time skip to Adrian but honestly it provides a lovely view into how the characters I previously fell in love with continued in their lives. Though I wish there was ten more books spanning the time skip. Adrian’s experience with mental illness is explored in detail and how it affects him on their daring adventure. At times the descriptions were very intense and I had to put down the book because it was too close to home, but overall it was a fantastic portrayal of anxiety disorders and OCD. I am so proud of Adrian and I really enjoyed watching him develop in this book.

Lee is a beautiful writer with a gift for building characters that feel real. I would sya this was the least gripping of the series but I did love Adrian's struggle with mental ilness and as always Lee tackles an issue ofte talked about in a modern light, in a historical context instead. The Montague Sibling Series is probably among the most unique books I have ever read and I am glad I got to finish it by reading about the reunion of the siblings however I found the plot line in this book to be somewhat anticlimactic which I think there was more of a character focus which I enjoyed but not what I was expecting after the first two novels having such thick and rich plotlines. This one was my least favourite of the series but I also need to take into consideration I am a few years older compared to when I read the first two and perhaps have exited the target demographic. All that being said I still love the series as a whole and always recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, action packed, funny but also emotional, well rounded series.
