I can't believe it is oveeeeeeeeeeeeer :(((((((((
There was so much packed into this one. I'm not sure how to process it all. The audiobook was fantastic and made this such an amazing reading experience for me. Everything was so tense from the beginning and that only got worse and worse as the story progressed. Jade, as usual, was an incredibly complex main character and I loved going on this journey with her.
The plot was all over the place, once again! There was so much going on and so many threads tied to other things and SGJ looped it all back together. The Horror references were still the most fun and it was so entertaining to see how they all made sense within the plot. There were deaths, as to be expected, and a lot of emotional scenes throughout as well.
I can't help but feel like I wanted a little bit more out of the final chapter, though? It was a tone shift and I'm not sure it quite worked for me, after everything. I did love all the themes explored in the book and how SGJ went about tackling and developing them, but the closing chapter was a little underwhelming.
