3.5
“The best book of the entire series, if you ask me. The writing of this one was more likeable. It gave more time to engage with the characters in compared to the others of the series and that was the best part of this book. And the one thing amazing about the whole series.
Regret and guilt.
No one is free of regrets and guilts but unfortunately we got nothing like Funiculi Funicula. And only if we had, I believe the line would have been longer there and I think I would have been one of them. And many more. If not to change the past but to out grow the guilt. Because guilt is one filthy enemy of mankind.”
“WOW!! I don’t think there could have been a better way to end this series! This series just pulls on my heartstrings throughout each book. I will definitely be rereading this series again! 🫶🏻🥹”
