Gah, I feel bad giving this book 2 stars...but it should have been 400 pages shorter.
The first half was filled with no plot, no conflict, and no tension at all. I got into a major slump and it took me two months to get to the 400 page mark.
From there, I read the rest in less than two weeks. There was so much plot just thrown in to wrap up the story and the series. So many random comments, characters suddenly being important after not being spoken about for hundreds of pages.
It was clear this was done to wrap up and obviously set up for their new series about the Cobalts...but I'm a little early of that now too, seeing as how many years have passed by the end of the book.

The Praise: I’m so happy Luna finally got her happy ending! Her relationship with Donnelly is so sweet, I love that she found someone who embraces her weirdness and loves her because of it. I also was thrilled to see so much of Lo in this one and to see Luna bond more with her cousins.
The Critique: My only problem is that this is the last Like Us book 😭 I can’t wait for the Cobalt Empire books!
Final Thoughts: I love these families with my whole heart. I could read 1000 books about them and future generations and I would still want more.
