This book is beautifully written, and I loved the story. I wish there were another book in this series, because by this point, I feel as though the characters have become my friends. That said, the anxiety that the main character struggled with was far too intense for me. I read fiction for the adventure and for the escape to other worlds, and unfortunately, the anxiety episodes in this book were too real for me to properly enjoy the story.

An incredible ending to a well-written trilogy. Lee has put everything into this book, and I couldn't put it down for more than a few minutes before the urge to continue reading took over. It's been a long time since I read something that enveloped me so entirely. This was a fantastic read, and I want to experience the trilogy all over again. There are so many flags in this copy I have, so many passages that spoke to me personally or left me breathless. I love Adrian, and my adoration for Monty and Felicity have only grown. I can't wait to reread this and the first two books again. So well done. I can't recommend this series to my friends enough. So, so lovely. I closed the cover feeling nothing but love.

The pacing of the actual adventure felt a little rushed compared to the other books, but it was still a fun read. Interesting exploration of mental illness in a historical context.
