You see minor improvements of Apollo’s character by the end of the first book but he gets much better in this one. It was nice to see Leo again! I love his humor. This book was exciting and dark and everything in between. I hope this isn’t the last we see of the Waystation.

It definitely feels more serious than the series before, because of the topics it's talking about.

11/21 reread review:
I only picked this back up because Rick announced a book About Nico but it picks up at the end of this series so obviously I have to finish the series so I can read the long awaited Nico book. Now I’m still at this moment in time have a physical copy but I grabbed it from the library is an audiobook to help me speed through it. I finished it in two days, and really didn’t like it all that much… ugh. It feels so weird for me disliking a wreck book so much let alone a wreck series but I’m just not Vibing with the series is at all which is also kind of ironic/almost funny because I just bought his daughters of the deep book that just came out I bought it on pre-order but I’ve told myself I can’t pick that one up until I finish this series soooooo here we go.
