It takes a lot for me to like a book enough to finish it in 2 days even while I'm sick. This finale to the series was amazing. The writing was fast paced and the plot was interesting throughout. The trio of Mara, Jamie and Stella figuring stuff out together was everything I could've wanted. The story buildup, the investigation scenes and the absolutely insane parts of the book I loved it all. This series is all about the writing tbh. It's genuinely very well written. I loved how it got all sci-fi and I loved the flashback parts. Some of the stuff written is genuinely creepy and messed up so that was pretty interesting. It sort of gave me verity vibes from the way the creepy scenes were written.
I clearly ate this book up so i do recommend it, but i'm not sure if i'll end up rereading it ever. The writing though. gonna be thinking about that for a while.
Some things that weren't great:
- (mild spoiler)
- the actual plot twist at the end was not even that great?? It wasn't predictable necessarily but i didn't like it either.
- i do not like it when author's tell the whole story from one person's perspective and then randomly start doing two person perspective at the end.
- i reallyy didn't mind the marshaw romance in the last two books, but somehow in the end of this book the romance was insufferable for me. It was cringe and just not great except maybe one scene.
Also it was weird how Mara and Noah were basically taking up all the story before but then this book completely shifted to not having Noah most of the story, it felt a bit inconsistent.
