4.5

This book is the perfect end to the series, wrapping up almost every single loose end from the previous 4 books.

The only change I'd make is developing Haru and Jamie's relationship more, and spending more time repairing Ellie and Lotties instead of jump cutting to it being perfect. 
But these can be excused as the story didn't really need to show these to make them believable.

I also wish that the "eye for an eye" was resolved between Saskia and Julius, and that something came of it. Perhaps invilving Saskias mum too as she felt so important and then was only really used for a single scene.
