Each installment in this trilogy is less entrancing than the previous one, but not enough to knock the sequels down a star.
The time-skip was fun. I liked Adrian as a character and seeing his development with his anxiety and paranoia was interesting and satisfying. I think there are a lot of people that can heavily relate to his character.
The re-found family, particularly at the end, was also very sweet.
As many of the characters in the book also expressed, I was very sad there wasn’t more Percy. It probably would have pulled attention away from our new MC too much, but the dynamic between Percy and Monty was what absolutely enchanted the first book and it would have been nice to get more of them, although admittedly the last chapter was very much appreciated.
I’m a little bit disappointed that we don’t get to see the Montague father react to his kids reuniting, or his reaction to Adrian’s involvement with the Wig party, but I suppose that would have drawn out the end.
