YAYYYY it took me forever to finish this and I really don't know why! the scheme/plot of this book was less interesting to me than the other 2 which perhaps had something to do with it, but I love locke and jean so much I would have read anything tbh. I liked the flashback plot and getting to see some more of the sanzas and their time with Chains as teens. after waiting 2 books for Sabetha I did end up liking her but almost expected more? her history with locke is still incomplete to us and hopefully we'd get more if we ever get a 4th book 😭 the reveals abt lockes character also felt a bit out of NOWHERE but I do find it intriguing so I'd like to see where that goes. Basically even tho this is my least favorite of the trilogy I still enjoyed it and my time with the characters, just not the most interesting plot device for their scheme imo
