This one's pretty stressful to be honest, haha. I'm glad we get an answer to a "what if" question I took away from the first book. The dual perspective is a format that's used pretty uniquely especially near the end of the book. Our characters get hurt, emotionally and otherwise and Ness isn't afraid to lean into that. There is an uptick in violence in general compared to the first book which is only a hint of the level of violence that happens in the last book.
