Here. There. Somewhere. Elsewhere. Get lost in this third book as Spensa finds herself literally nowhere. In this fantastic story of pirates and existential crises, the hard questions are asked. 

 

I think I just got gentle-parented by a book by an AI. Or maybe the AI gentle-parented itself. 

Every single thing you think you know is wrong. Everyone is having an identity crisis because their axis has been thrown off. This whole book had me in suspense because of the cliffhanger from the last book. What I appreciated most in this book is the level of common sense that other books sorely lack. I have never read a book with so much common sense (this entire series really). Spensa makes silly decisions, sure, but what I mean is the logistics of getting from point A to point B. There’s deductive reasoning and a relatively normal amount of communication. Both are set up since the first book and don’t come out of nowhere due to a plot hole.
