 I love this series and I'm super excited for the final book. I love the characters; they are excellently written. Ellie had a lot of growing in this book and this was well written. We also see this story take a bit of a darker turn in it compared to the first book. I hope that there is some good disability representation in the following book that are a continuation of events that took place in this book. The one thing I didn't like about this book was something that was insinuated at the beginning of the book. One of the main characters was discussing one of the villains that we meet in this book and heavily implied that mental illness will cause people to harm others. It was a statement that rubbed me the wrong way, it felt like an unconscious bias, not something that was supposed to be intentional. Otherwise, this book was excellent and had a phenomenal expansion of this world. The world building is fantastic in this series. It feels real and like a great deal of thought went into it. This is a world that I love diving into, and I wish more people would read this series, so I could discuss it with more people.
