This was not my favorite of the books in this series but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t amazing! It was a book that suffered the dreaded “middle book” syndrome where so many things had to happen and be cramped in to make sure the timeline and plot continued the way it needed to. So other than that minor pacing issue that honestly wasn’t bad at all it just wasn’t as well paced as the previous ones that were exceptional in my opinion. I had no other complaints. I continue to love and appreciate the way JLA writes trauma. Her portrayals of stuff raging from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, are always spot on in a way that lets us understand the characters without using the trauma as only a plot device. That can be quite triggering for me and I never have had that problem reading JLA books. 
So another win for me. I loved where the story went and can’t wait for the finale. ❤️
