Listen. This isn’t an enjoyable read. You'll be well-acquainted with pain and suffering on every page! You go through hell with this story, but it’s a very fitting end. We are who we choose to be.
I hated how much Iris (and Jinn) got sidelined in this story. I wanted more time with these two (one of my favorite book couples!), but we were given crumbs. Book 3 is the Max and Rin show, which isn't bad but the self-loathing, killing, and iciness got old.
Overall, I enjoyed this series so much and want to read more from Raughley. The first book is still my favorite of all of them. Lulu is so adorable. The author just has a way where you want to pick that little girl up and hug her. She was so precious. I also liked the sisterhood development between Berta and Rin and Lulu. My girls! . Adam is ever the sadistic crackhead as before but his shenanigans are still fun to read.
The philosophy and biblical themes are present more than ever here. The book makes us ask ourselves - Why is it so crazy to imagine a world without pain, greed, and people hurting each other?
yay, we finally got Jinn's real name.
loose ends - did everyone lose their powers at the end? is Chadwick back alive? I'm confused about how much of their old memories did everyone obtain. i wanted to see Jinn fire breath one more time.
I was expecting Iris to give up her death powers to become a human and have her friends returned to life, so this was a different spin. she still kept being a god.
