i really liked this 3rd book, however it definitely was more focused on character growth compared to action and plot like the last 2 books, which is why im rating it a bit lower. however i understand it was necessary for worldbuilding and whatnot! but still was amazing as expected, and it was nice to get to see the characters develop more compared to the first two books.
one thing i predict for book 4:
jules and emilia relationship?? i swear emilia has a crush on jules fr

not as memorable as the first book but STILL SO GOOD. emotional and witty and definitely we got to see more of the characters in unique ways as it wasn’t solely focused on the plot
