o m g, ese final con cada libro amo más esta historia.
Si hay algo que le cambiaría seria poner en cada libro es mismo problema del narrador como por ejemplo Tobias y su problema de identidad o Cassie y culpa que, francamente, me hace odiarla cada día más.

Some crazy ass hijinx as they finally remember to put the fact that Tobias is Elfangor's son in the main series, more of the Hork Bajir enclave gaining narrative prominence, and Tobias wrestling with leaning more into his hawk instincts versus his human instincts and memories, and still having feelings for Rachel. Getting close to halfway through the series, too.
Most of this was pretty mid but THEN AT THE END?!?!? WOOAHAHAHAHAHWOWOAHAH???
Curious lawyers and sudden family members popping out of the woodwork? Yeah, I'd be suspicious too. But what if....? Tobias goes through some tough thoughts in this one.
From how he now identifies as a hawk, as well as human. I can't fully even imagine what that must be like. Although I think his friends should have encouraged him into his human form more often, to avoid further disconnect. At least when in private in the barn and such. I am surprised how readily he accepts the big reveal of his parentage. I would have some serious questions!

I love a good Tobias book, and this one seems like it must have been particularly fun to write. Applegate seem to have run out of fucks to give--the explicit references to Jake and Cassie's interracial relationship and "hard to imagine humans welcoming seven-foot-tall goblins into the local Boy Scout troop when they couldn't even manage to tolerate some gay kid" are both refreshingly, even startlingly, honest. And this is Tobias at peak woobie. The writing isn't incredibly consistent--Tobias seems to cope well as a supporting character but then has sudden crises when he's a narrator, and Rachel's insistence that he give up the fight seems out of character--but I appreciate it when episodic narratives sideline the A-plot in order to focus on a character's emotional arc, and Tobias's unsolvable, accessible inner turmoil has stuck with me almost word for word since I was thirteen and still holds up as an adult reader. A solid 4.5* book, bumped up because it made me have an entire feeling.

Yeesh. Tobias has some really heavhh stuff going on. I guess they all do at this point. He's got a really good head on his shoulders, though.

Tobias is the saddest character if the main cast and this book is great. It has his existential crisis, his self-loathing thoughts, his conflict with Rachel, and his need to run away.
