I absolutely loved this book, I have never seen anyone do worldbuilding as well as our queen Leigh Bardugo - its absolutely astounding! Nikolai is my fav ADHD child and Nina is my fav bi icon! David/Genya was of course incredible though - my OTP (other than Wesper)

I’m so sad Isaak died though oh my god 😭😭

This was just everything. The polyamorous relationship had me swooning and I’m sorry but Ramsey Thorne is actually the love of my life. Its just a fact. Marlowe is so brilliant and she definitely deserved to be the one who killed Greshem Hain at the end. They got their houseeeee 😭😍

3.0

Got to be honest, I liked this one less than the previous three.
Reading the Foreword I kind of understand why, but in particular it was because of the just...lack of space? Like we spent the majority of the book with Arthur and Fenchurch's relationship and there wasn't as much one-line comedy or worldbuilding.
I am intrigued as to where Douglas will go with the series in the last book, because the series was essentially wrapped up at the end of the fourth book.
Also...where the hell were Zaphod and Trillian? Like there was a short throwaway line about them having had a baby or something, but I felt like they deserved more.
However, because this was apparently the first book Douglas wrote I understand why, maybe he didn't have an idea of how important Zaphod and Trillian would have been when he wrote it?
Oh well, we'll see about next book. I liked Marvin and Ford of course, and Wacko the Sane was hilarious.

My poor baby Marko, his dad died :(
This girl is kind of a slay not going to lie
It's a bit weird that Gwendolyn wants to kill Marko, but she's kinda hot and a badass so I'm willing to overlook it /hj
I feel for this author guy so much, what happened with his son and his morality
Also, I'm really glad Izabel is okay, but I knew she was still .... alive?? .... because Hazel is okay and they have a bond :)
