Another stunner in the series, I’m so blown away. The character arcs are immaculate and I continue to tear up at points I’m not expecting to. Every character is fully realized, even if they’re still a bit mysterious, and have a clear relationship and opinion of everyone around them. These ladies are so powerful and flawed and I can’t wait to see how they come together in the end, because it’s going to be messy!
