This book made me realize that books that jump in time points I've always disliked in part because of me and in part because of the author. I just need the timeline jumps to be clearly communicated (and in this case to have a goal/direction), and I can tolerate it. I still didn't inherently like the jumps in points in time, but I understood the artistic choice and could appreciate it in a detached sort of way.

5.0

It felt like a bit more of an ending than City of Glass. I think it helps to think of the first three books in this series as the trilogy and the second set of three books as a seauel trilogy. I was sad that this was the end of the series and didn't fully realize until halfway through the book. As expected of the final book of a series, lots of loose ends/unfinished stories were tied up. A good ending to the series - finished up the plot points that needed to be wrapped up. I need to see if the characters were this self-aware in the previous book, because with a lot of the dialogue/interactions it really felt like a couple of them had gone through years of therapy between this book and the last. Really had its Spiderman: No Way Home moment. I had far too many moments trying to figure out where each familiar last name and name came from but eventually gave up.

The second book was already agony to drag myself through, but the third was unbearable. Can't remember getting past the first chapter or two. The writing seems to get worse as the trilogy goes on..
