This was also lovely, soft, comfortable, while also political. I liked it a lot. But I think it might be my least favourite of the series? Or maybe I'm just a bit checked out mentally. When I consider individual pieces I'm like "yes!!!" but it doesn't rise to the intense experience of the other three. I think there wasn't as much of a reminder of the stakes, so less tension, than in the others; there were mentions, sure, but it felt more cosy than "eek, how is this going to go?" It really made me want to go back to the start though!
