This book had a bit of a different feel to me--for one, it follows a mystery plot line rather than a trial or quest type plot line. There were parts of that I liked, and parts that felt like we were detouring from the overarching plot of the series. Plus, while Townsend so perfectly encapsulates the emotional highs and lows of being a emerging teenager--the shift away from some of the characters that I absolutely love towards some ones who are less lovable was a little hard to deal with--so I'm hoping for more from the favorite characters from the Ducalian and even more Unit 919 in the next book! Still love the series and the narration is absolutely amazing. Definitely my favorite middle grade fantasy series of all time right now!

despite the 3rd book in the series coming out 5 years ago, I felt like I didn’t have to reread anything to catch up on the events of this book, I also thought that I would have found the language quite juvenile as I did start the series when I was 13 but I found myself quite happy with the writing style

Spectacular! The writing is superb, characters so relatable, plot excellent, all in all, a great addition to the series. Jessica, you did not disappoint. The few moments that dragged were when Morrigan was in
the Silver District. Most of it was fine and entertaining enough, but those chapters when she was sulking at the Darling’s house after her blowout with Jupiter were a little boring and could have been a bit shorter.
Still, I enjoyed the rest of the book so much that I kept it at 5. I don’t really read much fantasy anymore, but the Nevermore series is special. Read it.

3.5. I think it was too long between series reads but what a fun amazing world. ❤️

Pfff... years, we waited YEARS for this.
so long that I almost forgot where we left of (and it feels like the author did as well)

I don't know but this had a whole different vibe than the other amazing books.
fast-paced

It was written a bit as a murder mystery. It does give a lot more context on the wider world and also a lot more background on some of the main characters, including mortician, but also Jack for example. I enjoyed how expansive it was, but there was also a lot less about the everyday at school and I missed the whimsy a bit more.
