Few books have ever made me so intent on peeling apart the mystery within its pages. The day after I finished the book, I spent half an hour the next morning cross referencing pieces of it with the other two. I took a walk with my dog when I was 3/4ths of the way through and had an epiphany about the characters, I couldn't wait to get home and jot it down to see if it squared out. I wrote all the theories I had going in on the front cover. I was SO CONSUMED by this book and this series in ways I never have. I pushed everything in my life aside to see this book through and it was so incredibly worth it. It's wild to see the characters have a path in front of them, and then watch them go "screw it" and take a completely different turn. This will give the previous two books a totally different meaning.
