I’m not actually sure why this book was written, but I’m not mad about it. The story is largely inconsequential to the main series plot, and reads a little more like the short story collections, with a ‘monster of the week’ feel, despite the linear plot. I wonder though if it wasn’t solely written to be a vehicle for the epilogue. 

The epilogue itself was short and sweet, and a surprisingly satisfying conclusion to the main series. Although it didn’t exactly answer any of the questions I had, it ultimately made them inconsequential, and the final message we’re left with is delightfully wholesome and hopeful. I didn’t expect it to come about so simply after how confused and anxious the main series ending left me, but I’m utterly sated, and can happily place the story amongst my favorites. 🥰
