I was overjoyed to hear Adrian was getting his own book, since I wouldn't have assumed it was in the cards back when the first book was released. It took me a while to get this one, since I was waiting for a translation to be available as it had been for the previous too (I have the first one in two languages because why not), but I couldn't wait any longer to read what was in store for them here.
There is always something so relatable and humane about every Montague. I related to Monty's first child syndrome, Felicity's identity and Adrian's experience with mental illness. I don't think I have been moved to tears with the other two as much as I have with this one, and reading Adrian's thoughts was very familiar to me.
This one doesn't have as much of a direct line of adventure, the plot is there but feels more like a welcomed excuse to make the siblings come together, which maybe it is, all things considered. I actually wish I had even more chapters that were just them three being siblings, but it was Adrian's book first and foremost and I'm happy that was the case.
I'm also very pleased with the fact that, even though there were romantic elements here and there, and Adrian is engaged at the start of the book (and flirts with another character as well), the main relationships developed in this one were the ones between Adrian and Monty and Adrian and Felicity. Even if Felicity didn't have a traditional relationship narrative because of her identity and boundaries (thank you so much Mackenzi Lee), she is somewhat thrust upon them here and there in the books by people who'd like to have an allo relationship with her
I honestly don't think I can pick a favorite between the three books, now that I've read them all. Each of them has something particular that I love and the first person narrative is so distinct between the three and their personalities. All I know is that I will miss this series and these characters so much. It's been a series of amazing adventures and we've all come out different after them.
