I am still in love with the series. There is more paranormal intrigue, lore, and character development in this volume. That being said, this may have hurt the rating bit. There was so much happening act two that switching between all the plot points always felt jolting.

I did like the new conflict introduced with Eli Montague. The ending conversation really showed the growing divide between Pete and Al, just like Eli and Francis before them. I wonder if they will part further or become more fiercely united in future volumes. I also liked the reversed roles of Chuck and Rachel, in which Rachel is able to see Al's struggles better than Chuck.

The theme of depression was covered well and very honestly between
Gideon's music, Francis,  and Al
. there may not instant or permanent healing, but there us a path forward. It was hopeful.
