Sorry it took a few days to post this review... I was unraveled.
Let's just jump in! As with the first two, I really love the cover. I like that this series has a consistent style, but each cover is just different enough to be beautiful in its own way.
1. Characters: Let's just say there is some major character development all around in this one! It doesn't necessarily come from dialogue or action but instead comes by the realizations of the protagonist and she herself grows as well. You get to know everyone else as she does, and it adds layers to your attachment to them.
2. Story: Although there was never a point that I was bored, I definitely prefer the second half of this book over the first half. I wouldn't say the first half was slow, but one of my favorite characters wasn't on the scene in this one until later, so really I felt like I was just turning the pages til I finally saw the character's name. From that point I devoured the rest of the story.
3. Author's Writing Style: I miss the strike-through style from the first book. Although there's still some strike-throughs scattered throughout the book, it's a much less frequent occurrence. It's impressive to me, however, how well the author was able to develop the protagonist/narrator's voice and character but do so gradually. It feels like the same person from the first book, but there's a very clear progression of her mental/emotional state.
4. Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is that it took too long for one of my favorite characters to step back into the story, and that was a little disappointing. Otherwise, it was an absolutely incredible read, and I can't wait to read the next novella and the final installment!
5. Similar Reading: Don't miss the first book in this series and the brief novella preceding this one! Click the covers to visit their pages on Goodreads and add them to your TBR shelf!
