I still love this series, but I have such a weird relationship with it xD Because, like, again, loving it. But it can also still feel very long and over-full? But then you get to the end and it all comes together and you're cheering for it all... I don't know, okay??? I always tend to have segments with these books in the middle where I'm struggling, but then *bam*, the feeling is gone and I'm loving it again.
So yeah... Liiiittle bit anxious about when I get to the longer books...
Anyway. Sokeefe for life. Was always sorta middle of Sokeefe and Sofitz, and then this book made me take a hard left toward the prior. Just because Keefe is everything and I would die for this boy. I loved all the scenes with him in it, including the painful ones. Messenger really did a great job with his arc throughout this book. This poor kid needs a freaking hug T^T And better parents >.> *kicks them in the shins*
There were a lot of reveals and twists in this book, some of which I saw coming from the very start, others which I realized as it drew closer to the reveal, but also still just a lot of stuff. I'm not going to be like "I'm a genius and saw it all!" It's more that Messenger set out all the right breadcrumbs that people could follow them to a lot of the right conclusions. There were still things I wasn't expecting and enjoyed seeing how they resolved (still also sad, though. Looking at you, how they fix the main problem in this book T^T).
Getting to see the other school was cool, as an aside, and I love the characters we got to meet through it. Hope we can see the school again, just because I'd like to see how things go for it.
Overall, a really good new installment, but I am probably taking a small break from the books just because they're so oddly exhausting at the same time as being fulfilling xD
