I can't believe this last book!!
Stroud did an amazing job of keeping me not just on the edge of my seat but also laughing thanks to Skull these last few books as he's gotten more and more lines as he's a bit more integral to the story.
So many great moments but more than anything I loved how much the characters grew from book one, not to mention the character arcs, the additional backstory on Lockwood, the entire arc about Melissa Fitz, the friendship between Kipps and George, but more than anything the friendship between Lucy and Skull.
I mean.... This last one had so much going on and I loved every minute of it.
Thank you Stroud for a fantastic ride but more than anything a fantastic series that I completely enjoyed.
