Another incredible installment from Alex Smith!
This one felt more harrowing than most, I think considering how family-connected it was. Very touching, very difficult moments.
Saying that, the dark and gruesome bits aren't what I love most about these books. It's the humanity on every page, and the emphasis on humanity and family and found family to help you through the darkest of times.
I was crying with laughter multiple times throughout this book. From Franklin meeting Kett at the side of the body, to Duke Leeroy Jenkinsing himself into a scene, the entire ordeal with the snail cars (saying no more but seriously 😂😂😂), and Colin's newest stealth obsession. I just love it all.
Thanks Alex for another great one. Can't believe I have to wait until May to meet my favourite team again!
