Felt like a long-awaited payoff for a lot of pieces that had been being set up for a long time. It also felt a lot darker than previous installments of the series- while those got dark sometimes it didn't feel like our main characters could break in the way they did here.
Pairing with the novella was a good choice; April is a fun narrator and the story is much lighter which helps balance out the book as a whole.
