Like the first two books in the series, this one takes a bit to really get going, but once it does, it moves quickly.

Ultimately, it ended up being my favorite of the series. It gives great insight into what it is like to live with severe anxiety, and it portrays this without falling into the far-too-frequent narrative of anxiety being a disease that must be cured. I came away from the book understanding anxiety in a way that I had previously struggled to do, and that understanding has helped me better support those in my life with anxiety.

I love every moment of this. A perfect fitting end to the series. It has that same heart of adventure as the first book, but with so much feeling. I loved getting to see Percy and Monty and Felicity grown but not yet done. Proof that there’s always a next step in life. Adrian is a character I will always hold dear because of the kinship I feel for him and his anxiety.

I totally forgot about Monty and Felicity’s baby brother, so I didn’t realise this book was going to be about him. It was therefore a lot less queer than the other two books as he is the token straight brother, however we still get to see our faves, and I do love Adrian now! He’s aware both of the privilege he has meaning he has the opportunity to fight for reform in public, and also that things like the opinions of strangers don’t logically matter, but that doesn’t lessen his anxiety at all. If you are not in a great place at the moment I would not recommend picking up this book until you are. The anxiety representation was very real and painful, much like the representation of queerness and epilepsy, it is also explored how this is not understood in the period. Adrian feels his mother made his struggles “weather, not climate”, but he no longer believes he has anyone who can understand how he feels. There were so many resonant moments, but I do have to say that this was the strength of the book, and I feel it certainly was nowhere near the level of the first book, and I’d probably also rate it slightly lower than the second.
