I just adore this book. It's set out very much like an action movie, which some readers weren't a huge fan of, but I loved the tense atmosphere that the faster-paced book made. And of course, I still love all the characters (I would let you commit arson Maria), and the further worldbuilding this book does of cities outside London.

I do not deserve this much emotional damage from a mid-series book

I don’t know how I’ve almost finished this series given that I’ve found them only okay. They’re entertaining at least. I finally understand why this series is classed as adult - spolier alert

but there’s some pretty hardcore torture at the end of this book that had me feeling a little ill

. Up until now its felt very YA or teen but this book was a little more adult in its violence.
