So, I think I like the first half of the book better than I did the first two books. Then, it got kind of boring towards the end. People were dying and coming back to life left and right. It's a bit overdone. The book could have ended about 13 chapters earlier and it would have been a more compelling ending.
I'm not a big fan of the characters in this series either. I'm only really a fan of the side characters. Mara just bugs me; she has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Noah was even worse at times. Like he says all the right "romantic boy" phrases which are probably why he's a fav, but his self-destructive nature while simultaneously being perfect. He and Mara's characterization make me wonder whether this book is a positive mental health representation. Most books don't cover mental health at all, so this book is a step up in one regard. My issue comes with the fact that .

She murders several people, only a few of them for good reason. She is selfish and super murder-y, which isn't my favorite traits when it comes to characters.Spoiler
health issues are part of their "powers." So it's more of a character quirk. It disappears for most of the characters after their powers become complete. I also dislike how mental health workers are the evils one in this.lucyellis's review

I’m so sad honestly. This trilogy will forever be on my mind. I couldn’t stop reading. It was so good. I was so nervous when Noah and Mara died, but the ending tied everything together so fucking well. I loved the chemistry the two had and the way that the story actually got wrapped up nicely and made sense really set this trilogy to the next level. Absolutely loved it.

Back to back reading of all three books in the Trilogy. Still highly recommended. But I have just startet this.

Review follows when I am up to it.
Shorty: Ending ok, but could have been better (eg His dark materials), very bloody, very selfish

The Retribution of Mara Dyer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recommend checking the TWs!
The humor in this book is like no other. It’s morbid but it’s funny, like how she described holding an eyeball and thinking about how it’s squishy and big.
I mostly read this series for the plot (you know what I mean *cough cough* Noah Shaw) so it got kind of boring when he wasn’t involved.
I hated the “before” parts, please just give me more of Noah Shaw.

reading this book was like reading a dream it was all so distant and unreal. and honestly a lot of the book confused me. I much preferred the others and wish she would have gone a different way with the entire book. questions left unanswered and stories wide open.
