TW: brief body horror; sexual harassment w/ threats of assault; mentions of child abuse and pedophilia

I can see why this final book is polarizing. It feels so different from the first book but is a solid conclusion from what was revealed in the second book. This story challenges the reader. There aren’t any perfect answers and it can be frustrating at times. None of the characters are perfect. Kelsea as a character is striving to build a better world while obviously not knowing what the consequences will always be for her actions. It does leave a feeling of lack of fulfillment at times, but that feels true to this entire series arc.

I will say the very very end of the book threw me for a loop. There are some scenes I don’t quite feel I understood and did feel rushed. I think it could have been wrapped up in a more universally satisfying way, but I do feel the author didn’t go that route on purpose.

This series will always stand out as something unique to me. I will be doing a video review and discussion on my channel.
