Overall, I found the plot of this book a bit too predictable. Building up to the main mystery of the book took time, and I found myself guessing what was going to happen before it did, something I havent experienced before with Jackson's novels.
However, the book managed to make me worry for Pip and Ravi and I was genuinely nervous at times for them, hoping for the best whilst expecting the worst. The continued backstory weaved through the series continued, and led to a well rounded end. I really enjoyed how Ravi and Pip's relationship was slightly more present in this book, without it being too overwhelming and drawing away from the rest of the story.
I'm glad this is the last full novel for the story, it felt complete. Although, if a novella came out to round up Pip and Ravi's happy ending, I would absolutely read it.
