This series continues to blow my mind. What started as one of the best mysteries I've read has come full circle, and it was an exhilarating ride.
I don't really know what to say without spoiling anything so I'll just say the things I liked.
I loved that the events of the last two books have built up and had an effect on pip, and we see her struggle with PTSD which is something that's usually glossed over; and that Ravi remains the most supportive and loving boyfriend ever.
The narrative and story were quick paced and easy to follow, each turn of the page bringing something new while making callbacks to the first book and that the characters continued to grow and change instead of being stuck on one note.
I'm sad this is over now, but I feel full and complete, with nothing left open and everything wrapped up.
