3.5
I feel like this series should've ended after the third book in all honesty, but I still enjoyed this book. It took a very different direction than the other 4 before it, and has now become a sort of murder-mystery ish. I like the switching between time frames, but the writing can be repetitive at times. If you liked the last books, I'd recommend reading.

Even in these technically unnecessary supplementary stories, Malorie Blackman's writing continues to be enthralling. I like that she is expanding the universe in this one, like having all those years to think just added more world building.
