the ending of this one makes me CRY
this is tonally different from the first two of the series but it's also really necessary? with all the stuff happening in the other books it's easy to forget that one of the main characters is an 11 year old boy who was literally murdered. yes, he's a ghost, but when you're following the plot you're not constantly thinking about how he got that way. however, in this book Nedly's condition becomes a central idea, forcing us to think about it more as well as addressing its long-term consequences. I didn't expect the series to go that direction but I'm glad it did and I think it was a perfect way to conclude.
this one ALSO delivered the answer to one of the biggest questions I've had since book 1, and I love when book series play the long game on answers but still make sure to address everything. it's both "oh hey look! told you I didn't forget" and a gift to us for sticking with it lmao
