So much more than the back jacket advertised. Loved the multiple story lines within a single chapter, kept the pace up and never felt like you were dragging. TJR’s style continues to capture my attention three books in.
Lived the TJR world Easter eggs and crossovers from TSHOEH and DJATS and how interconnected, yet independent the worlds are.
Actually satisfied with the ending for virtually every character (and there’s a lot of them!)
Publishing kudos (something I always note, but never gets mentioned specifically): the font, size, spacing, and margins were greatly appreciated. Pages are thick enough that they aren’t bleeding through, nor crinkle as you turn them. The physical book size is perfect, itself knows how to sit and hold itself open. It practically screams “read me.”
