My favorite from the whole series

Wish we got to see the Lockwood and Lucy finally kissing. Was really sad that the skull never came back. Wish we learnt more about Exekial. Everything about Marissa was crazy and shocking. Wish we got to see more whether the problem was solved.

I actually really enjoyed this book, but would have liked to see more from wren’s pov. I liked the mystery element, but it was also not extremely unpredictable. I really liked the ending.
