This has been my favourite of the series so far! It was much easier and more engaging to read, so much happened it was like reading more than one book, as most of her work is. I really loved how the characters developed through this one, Brianna and Roger especially.
i do think the Claire’s reactions and mental state post all the very horrific things that happen in this book are kinda downplayed or looked past? We hear less from her perspective after which makes sense, and a few references to her flashbacks and ptsd, but otherwise it felt very business as usual. Especially it skipping like a month? Between her kidnapping and then the next chapter.
Even with the time stamps, I struggle to follow the time line of the book a lot and I have no idea how old Jem is supposed to be by the end lol.
