3.75
Honestly more of a 3.85 read but the decimals don't go there.
Slow start and a wild back third. Had my brain spinning.
A little bit anticlimactic, would have loved to have seen them cover the immediate aftermath of the final events which I do acknowledge that probably would have taken out of YA so I'm not gonna harp on that too much. That said, for a YA it was a solid ending.
Also a few of the subplots were just kinda dropped on us and either not really addressed or not fleshed out super well, and I would have loved to see the book have another 100 pages if it meant those subplots got addressed.
I would kill for Devon.
