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.

I loved this book! I've been with this series for so long, and though it's bittersweet to come to an end I could not be more satisfied by the ending. an excellent finale to an excellent. 
That being said, PLEASE read the content warnings before reading this book. There were several times I had to put it down and step away for a couple days because it triggered my own anxiety. But still an excellent book that I loved very much.
