LOCKWOOD BEAT THE DEATH ALLEGATIONS EVERYONE CHEER!!!!!!!!!

this is definitely the best book of the series!! like it’s totally worth five stars. everyone has come so far as characters, and the plot was just so much more complex now that they were uncovering the secrets of the problem and marissa and everything

i feel like this deserves a full-fledged review but i have to go to the store with my mom in five minutes so i can’t write it rn

OH ALSO!!! I AM RUNNING TO AO3 ASAP FOR THE LOCKLYLE FICS THEY ARE EVERYTHING

Love the grand slam finish to this unique series. Awesome to finally get all the answers to the world we've been exploring and get some interpersonal resolution between some of the relationships that have been big time slow burn building. My only things I wish had been there was more insight into Lockwood's emotional journey before the final book, and a few more dropped clues throughout the series to what the big secret really was by the end. But those are overall both so minor. It was really sweet, really fun, really tense at times (definitely was not just shrieking in the car about my team when I had to end of a sharp cliffhanger towards the end...), and I would absolutely die for the skull at this point. Big fan of this series, definitely a new favorite for me!
