FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
It's a good ending, it's fitting. It's quirky, everyone is in the most appropriate place. Cassie is where she needs to be. Everyone else is on a cliffhanger mission.

Ending it with the lull wouldn't have worked. I like how their reactions to the end make sense. I want this whole series to have had more of Tobias, I wish he and Ax had had their own slots in the series-long narrator rotation rather than sharing. The ship ruse is funny, sweet, and a bit tragic. I feel like they're real people who will keep going past the last page, however long that is.

I love these books. I'm sad they're over. I'll probably read Remnants or some of the author's more recent work at some point.

If you haven't read these before, it's worth it, I promise you. I hope you've enjoyed these reviews, now go read a book of your own.
