This series continues to impress! I don't really have anything different to say about it compared to the other books. Not that this book sucked, but this series is so consistently good that I feel like I've run out of interesting things to say about it. It was definitely nice to get some especially heartwarming moments in this book and I appreciate seeing the depths of some of the side characters. One thing that I really appreciate about this series (that I'm not sure I already talked about) is the fact that the flaws of the MCs are still present, even after their respective story ends. Like, book 2 significantly focused on Sydney and her thing she was struggling with,

feeling annoyed that Brooklyn is better than her at some  spy things, even though she's new to the group

, but even after the resolution of book 2, we still see her struggle with this in book 3. Anyway, you already know I really like this series and can't wait for book 4!
