This is such a great ending to a great series. It was so fun to see the characters grow even more, even the skull.
So much depth to the characters, even the side ones, but the main crew really are so well written and even though some parts of their personalities and lives are just hinted at, Stroud’s writing really lends itself to loveable characters. Definitely gonna be a reread in my future.

A great ending to the series that wrapped up the major questions and gave hope for the future of The Problem. I would have given this five stars if not for all of the terrible fat-shaming of George.
