I have complicated thoughts about this book. I very much enjoyed it, but I would have liked to see more of Kaya's relationships that weren't centered around romantic partners. The ending conflicts me because Kaya's death spoiled the sweetness of her victory. But it was interesting to see the conclusion of Chase's murder.
