listen.
The Diviners? great book! cool and scary ghost-murderer, promising characters and a fascinating atmosphere;
Lair of Dreams? ok! not-so-scary-ghost-murderer, gay yearning, and a dreamy atmosphere!

now this one? I have no clue - "The time is now." please shut up??????
there were way too many subplots of the subplots (no clear focus), drama, random side characters who had an entire chapter dedicated to them to never show up again and/or straight up just die, a clusterfuck of sex scenes in the end,,,, it got to a point where it was just a chore to pick this up
and you know what? i simply don't care about the story or the cast anymore. Memphis, Henry and Ling were the only ones with Actual Personality (though it did feel like Libba Bray just slapped as many minorities onto Ling and made that her entire personality in this book - smart Irish-Chinese with Green Eyes, lesbian asexual disabled girl who talks about the universe like middle school guys who think they are Michio Kaku - but ok) 

[and Uncle Will and Jericho just died (symbolically and physically) for me.

I really wanted to like this series but I'm just,,,,, bored.
