Ne zdaleka tak dobré jako první díl, ale lepší než druhý. Těžce soucítím s Bazem. Objevuje se zde můj oblíbený motiv: “schválně jak fungují končetiny navíc v této konkrétní knize”

Tldr; there were some shortcomings, but this is one of the best ends to a trilogy I’ve ever read.

I am a Simon Snow STAN. I have loved these books for years and I was so happy to finally be able to have the headspace necessary to read what is supposed to be the final book in the series (I'm still holding out hope Rainbow can't contain herself and writes another one in a couple years!). 

I love these characters, the banter, the hijinks. I love that this is the story of what happens after you save the world because we don't often get that story. These are young adults who are figuring out what they want out of life, out of their relationships, what they do out of expectation vs. actual desire. They're falling love, making mistakes, learning lessons, and trying to enjoy life through it all. 

Also, Baz is the true king of this story. Thank you.

emotional hopeful reflective sad tense

A return to form after the okay-but-not-great Wayward Son. Simon and Baz’s relationship is so beautiful - intimate and delicate and aching. From my lay perspective, Simon’s PTSD was explored thoroughly, but gently and with love.
