This book is perfection, and I love this series with my whole heart. Comfort characters and series. It is very rare for an author to successfully introduce new characters in a final installment and make the reader love them but I did. Jix was complicated but I ended up loving him and the brief view we got of the city of souls was more than enough for the story, I loved the journey we went on with nick and Allie and Mikey and Mary, all of their stories had a wonderfully written and careful ending that made me either gasp or cry or both. This book covered a lot of ground too but it did not feel rushed.

Mary’s spiral into wanting to end the living world and bring all worthy aspects to Everlost was amazingly written and powerful. Her relationship with Milos and its down spiral was harrowing to watch. The addition of Clarence the scar wraith and the power he possessed simply because everyone believed it was powerful and terrifying and I felt so bad for him at times. Shusterman even managed to make me feel bad for Jackin’ Jill! How?!?! No idea but I did and I loved her with Jix. I totally called the kings adviser as Vari as soon as Jix said it was the adviser who warned him of the eastern witch. The finale taking place at ground zero for the manhattan project was inspired and also terrifying. All of milos’s and Mary’s schemes to not only create souls but to create skinjackers!?!?! 🤯 Mikey’s love for Allie and nick’s love for Mary I just.., I can’t say enough about this book.
