A great conclusion to a wonderful series!
I love how some of the events of this book was foreshadowed in the previous books!
Allthroughout book 3 I was wondering if that guy was actually maliciou or just incompetent, and this book let's us know, that yep, he was maliciously lol I thought that since nothing was brought up in book 3 it was just a redherding XD but U should have known better with this author!
I love how even the smallest things get brought up later in the books.
I was actually re early curious about what happened to keystone (I was like, wait...I haven't seen him in a while, and he pops up again in this book!)
Conn is one of my favorite autistic main characters I've read. He has so many symptoms! A BIG one being his inability to lie. I felt that so much. The way his brain works tickles me in a 'omg same' kind of way XD
Some people mentioned Con possibly being Aroace and I remember thinking that was kind of silly since there isn't a single romantic relationship of any character in these books! Not even a single married couple shows up! There are children with parents, but only ever 1.
Like Embry has a dad, but no one is mentioned.
Ro has a mom, but no dad is mentioned
Conn has a mom, but no dad is mentioned
Which is actually kind of weird when you think about it XD.
But at the very end we see that Ro stars to get a crush on Embre which actually does help support the AroAce headcannon I saw, lol
It's hard to tell as Conn is a little younger I think then Ro, I personally think the author wasn't really trying for aroace representation (vs the autistic rep which is so integral to his character)
I feel like it's been a bit since Ive read a 5 star read, and this series deserves it. Sometimes I think maybe Middle grade or YA might be to young for me(I'm 25) and then I'll read a jem like rhis and be like, wow you definitely don't find books like this in Adult books.
Just comparing this series with petter nimble (a different Middle Grade series about an orphan thief and magic) just shows how much more solid Sarah's writing is, and I definitely have to try out her different series.
