I found the ending a bit rushed and maybe a bit easy? I felt like suddenly everything was over and okay and back to normal. I would have liked a more ominous ending that hinted at things might not be so okay after all (I expect they aren't, as there are two more books in the series haha). So that's my main reason for not giving it a better rating, I felt like the ending didn't quite stick the landing for me.
I'm really excited about reading more about Lila and Kell!
