Whelp, my below review is so sweet and innocent 😅 I felt that the introduction of lore and world building came too late in a series and should have been spread out more throughout the novel, even if just odd tidbits that would make sense at the end of the series. I would love to see more of this world/the strange the dreamer world because I do think it's an interesting idea and Taylor is a good writer.
2017: 5 stars
Oh that was so precious 😍😭 such a perfect perfect ending holy moly, my babies were together and Ertz is healing and it's perfect
It took me forever to get through the first half of the book just because I didn't want the story to end 😂 I really enjoyed the plot and all the mini plots in it
The story didn't end like a happily ever after, but a honest way of post war and rebuilding a world
As always, the writing style was perfect
This definitely one of my favourite series now ♥️

OKAY BUT COME ON HOW IS THIS SO GOOD
(I have minor squabbles re: the ending because I feel like it left a couple of things open ended and I mean it’s fine for them to be open ended because you basically know what’s happening but also I wanted more?? And yeah I know the book was already 600+ pages but I would have read 100 more and that’s the truth)
ALSO LIRAZ’S CHARACTER ARC IS UNPARALLED GENIUS
