I never thought I'll like redemption arc books – most especially Dean's. I hated him especially during the first two books and I've grown to like him as I finish this. It's nice to see how he used to have so much anger and hatred in him and that changed because of the people who actually cares about him.

I liked how we get to see Snow and Sasha again (I'm also so curious about their connection with the librarian and I think we'll see them more in the next books again) and how they were an instrument for Dean to become better. Cat's character is relatable as well. My heart broke with her during one of her fights with Dean and whenever that btch Lola or anyone bullies her.

That reunion at the ending is so sweet as well! And I loved how the Griffins and the Gallos welcomed Dean with open arms. I'm excited to see who the spy is (probably Hedeon or Ares, right?)!
