This is probably the wildest series I've ever read. The first book was weird, and then the second book was weirder, and then the third book was weirder in a totally different way. I can't wait for the fourth one and I know I'll have no idea what to expect when I do read it.

I was honestly a little worried about this one because (premise/early on spoilers)

it doesn't have Harrow or Gideon and I'd have to get used to entirely new characters for a lot of it.

But I actually really enjoyed it. I can't tell if this one is my favorite or if I just

really liked Nona.

Regardless, I cried at the end, and have no idea what to say about this book. This series is so hard to review without spoiling it. Immediately after finishing it I looked up a summary of what happened because I knew that I probably missed at least something, and I did. But in some ways this third book was more readable than the others, imo.

(more intense spoilers)

And oh my god all the backstory stuff with John??? I love that we're three books in and finally finding out more world-building stuff. That was wild. It made all the internet meme references make more sense and seem sad tbh. Gosh this whole book was just wild. Also this was my favorite quote, I immediately wrote it down: "I say it and don't know what it means" 😭
