The plot was pretty messy, and I'm still pretty annoyed by all the loose ends that were left.

Agatha really should have exited the series after the first book because the last two books in the series seemed to struggle to find storylines that fit her character.

I did still really enjoy Simon and Baz and reading about how they navigated their relationship and their anxieties. This story really delivers on the angst and made me feel so much for the characters.

The Penelope and Shepard subplot was also fun.

Ne zdaleka tak dobré jako první díl, ale lepší než druhý. Těžce soucítím s Bazem. Objevuje se zde můj oblíbený motiv: “schválně jak fungují končetiny navíc v této konkrétní knize”
