I love the storytelling frame of these (I don't care how realistic people find it - the ride is fantastic) but just having a group of characters we love all in the same place reliving moments that lead to how they got there, with all the messy-ness of those reveals is so delicious!
There's a very key plot point this book needs to unpack and I think it reflects the importance of it giving the big moment we left on in book 3.
This is a huge moment for all the characters to sort themselves out, deal with their fears, mistrust, anger, love and all the ships!
I love seeing some of my favourites from book one back in the spotlight as well as loving all of our mains and their frenemies!
Jen Lyons dialogue rich in snark and sarcasm (snarckasim if you will) is always the shiny star of this series, still just having the edge for me over her incredibly well thought out plot that we now see piecing together beautifully
Terrified and delighted to get to the final installment and conclude this fantastic chaotic amazing series that I have fallen in love with!

This is perfection.
At least for me. I know these books have flaws and are not for everyone. But for me, every single book in the series is uniquely perfect on its own. And the series is one of my all-time favorites already. I want to read book 5 immediately, but I'm also not ready yet to let these characters go. None of them, especially after this book.
It's so hard to talk about this book without spoilers. Just know that what it did was so important to me. And I don't think it has been done in any other epic fantasy series before, where a group of people has to work together. It focuses so much on each and every character, main and supporting ones, as well as their relationships to each other. I used to joke that this book is one big group therapy session... but there is nothing to joke about because that is exactly what it is. And this theme is woven through the whole plot, and it's accentuated through the narrative structure. And the ending? OMG, that hit SO hard. I can't believe how perfectly the small details fit together. I am in awe of Jenn Lyons.
