possibly the best depiction of anxiety ive ever read. some of the lines were thoughts from my own head. the writing was also incredible. and i loved being with monty again <3 i would have loved to see percy and louisa’s reactions when they got back to london, but this was still pretty much perfect.

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.

When I started reading this series, I had no idea how much I would come to deeply love these siblings. The reaction I had to reuniting with an older Monty and Felicity, and their loved ones, was much stronger than I expected. Each of them is unique, and each of their books feels fresh due to their narrative voices despite their adventures all involving love, adventure, ships, far off destinations, and a bit of magic. I remember I did struggle with Monty's perspective in his book at the start before he has some character growth, and I also struggled sometimes with Adrien, although for different reasons. If you have a hard time reading stories in the perspective of someone with severe anxiety, you may struggle as well. As with the previous books in the series, although the protagonist has blatant flaws and struggles, they feel reel and lovable and you get swept in with how invested in their well-being you become. I am eager to read more from this author and I'm so glad I picked up this series on a whim.
