It's hard for me to tell if I was still too afflicted with the OFMD brain rot when this book came out to fully appreciate it or if it just is so much better the second time around because you understand so much more of all the sprinkled clues, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. All of the things that I've heard about it since last September about the found family and the love, the *love*, in this book, ahhhh. It's all just so good. I'm skeptical that Alecto will actually be out this year but I just can't wait for it to arrive.
