Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

4.0

---

Like the two before it, this book was just so fun and easy to read, I pretty much couldn't put it down until I was done. Similar to "Wayward Son," I enjoyed how upsettingly "current" a lot of the plot issues were, to be deliberately vague... I honestly didn't expect this book to be so romantic but it really sold me on Simon & Baz's relationship again (along with a couple others) and got me good with many swoon-worthy moments!! All in all the focus on "mundane" problems - like trying to start over in a relationship that never really got off the ground before - against a backdrop of fantasy intrigue gives this series a unique flavor that I just love. This book felt like an ending while leaving plenty of questions and curiosities that could be explored, which I get the feeling was deliberate - but I'm very satisfied with this as the end of their story. I'd like to reread the whole series in one go someday!
