4.0

This one wasn’t my favorite of the series, mostly due to the slow start and the initial focus on Eli—who, at first, I wasn’t overly excited to follow. But to my surprise, the second half really picked up, and Eli actually grew on me in a big way.

The pacing kicked into high gear, and by the end, I was fully invested. That said, the ending felt a bit rushed and abrupt. While I was happy with the resolution, I would’ve loved a little more...maybe even an epilogue showing
Mendax and Caly arriving in Tartarus way down the line and getting that long-awaited reunion. Maybe it was intentional
… and maybe we’ll see them again someday.

As a whole, this series is a solid 4.5 out of 5 for me, and I’ll definitely be diving back in for a reread in the future.
