The ending. Jaw dropping. Leaves me wanting to finish the whole series can’t wait to read the novella after this.

I can’t decide if I like her parents or not they like  Annihilated  her friends at the end they bring her home and act like nothing changed and they have the audacity to use her birth name and be like “ oh honey dinner is getting cold come down stairs and eat” whilst she’s in power restraining binds.
