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.

After the unexpected death of his mother, Adrian finds himself tracking down the source of a spyglass she had obsessed over before she died. The search leads him all over Europe and the African coast with two siblings he never knew he had, as he strugglings with crippling anxiety, intrustive thoughts, and obsessive behaviors, hoping finding answers will help him let his mother go and find peace in his own life. Personally, was my least favorite of the series, mainly because I wanted so much more of the older characters like Percy and Sim, but it is a satisfying conclusion to the series as a whole.

A great finisher to the Montague books! I felt for Adrian and his struggles with mental illness. It doesn't all get wrapped up in a nice bow, it is realistic about the ongoing struggle and need for healing.  It was great to also see how felicity and Monty had grown and see their family bonds grow stronger.

I thought the second book in this trilogy would remain my favourite, but this one topped it! Adrian's struggle with his mental health are so relatable and understandable, and make him probably my favourite Montague. I also loved Felicity and Monty in this, and think the time jump and the character growth was handled really well. Overall, an excellent 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.
