Having read this right after ‘The Mime Order’, I can see how Samantha Shannon’s writing has continually matured and become what it is today. This packed a bigger punch than the first two books. Despite being action-filled, it was concise and well-paced. That being said, it was still a bit repetitive and far-fetched/contrived in places (I’m honestly amazed that Paige is still alive and the Mime Order is in-tact by the end ). There were also some minor editing errors (random punctuation marks, repeated sentences) which was odd considering I read the revised edition.
Either way, keen to read on! Hoping to see some of the minor characters fleshed out in the next book, like Maria, Eliza, and Ivy (and maybe the return. of Danica? ).

Weak for this series - the first two were really considerably more engaging and rewarding to read. Will revisit after a break from the series in case I’m the problem.

Overall this series is really good, though this one isn’t my favorite in the series. It felt a little rushed and short. It felt like there was a lot going on and that the “seeds” planted weren’t developing throughout the story. It was like... this was more of the highlights. I’m still excited to see what happens next and will definitely read book 4.
A first part really slow but the second part is really better and stronger ! Il me tarde de lire la suite
