I think this book had more emotion, which the second book was lacking. I actually cared about what was happening and boy did it ruin me! I still seem to like everyone more than I do the main two characters of this series, but Meg grew on me in this book.

rip crest

wow…the most emotional i think i’ve ever been reading a book, possibly ever. apollo’s character development as he literally gains proximity to humanity and empathy is so moving. he’s still sassy and arrogant and not losing a touch of that overconfidence that makes his pov so amusing, but he’s gaining so much softness and understanding so much of what it means to be human. it almost makes you, as the reader, feel exposed to everything that makes life difficult—but also makes it worth living. truly a heartbreaking, inspiring, and somehow still riotously funny novel.
