It might be a weird thing to comment on but I really enjoyed the pacing of this book. While it wasn't moving at breakneck speed and everything felt very well timed with room to breathe, there wasn't a moment that felt like a true lull. This feels like the kind of book in a series that is setting up for something big down the road, and still I felt like the exciting events really had me gasping and hanging on every word.
And PHEW it is work mentioning that (spoilers ahead) this book has one of the best and most heartwrenching breakups I've read. It doesn't feel permanent - maybe because I am a small ball of spite and refuse to believe it - but it had so much emotional weight and had me choking up.
I can tell that this is a great segue into the next arc of the series, and I'm so excited to see what happens next. THERE BETTER BE SOME RECONCILIATION IS ALL IM SAYIN.
