Like the first two books in the series, this one takes a bit to really get going, but once it does, it moves quickly.

Ultimately, it ended up being my favorite of the series. It gives great insight into what it is like to live with severe anxiety, and it portrays this without falling into the far-too-frequent narrative of anxiety being a disease that must be cured. I came away from the book understanding anxiety in a way that I had previously struggled to do, and that understanding has helped me better support those in my life with anxiety.

I love every moment of this. A perfect fitting end to the series. It has that same heart of adventure as the first book, but with so much feeling. I loved getting to see Percy and Monty and Felicity grown but not yet done. Proof that there’s always a next step in life. Adrian is a character I will always hold dear because of the kinship I feel for him and his anxiety.

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.
