5.0

My favourite from this series and for GOOD REASON, not only does this book reach an engaging and shocking climax with twists that had me stunned even on a reread, but it reaches a conclusion which is equally satisfying without sacrificing any of Riggs poetic fiction and narrative space. Is the ending a bit of a cop out- maybe but honestly I loved it then and I love it now, I’m happy the love story got to have an end even if it is a little bit of a ‘sure’ moment. It’s also nice to read fiction that isn’t completely littered (as far as I noticed and know) with evidence of the authors problematic views, escapism at its finest and ‘I thought a clean break was better than losing in slow motion’ will NEVER not kill me
