Very well written! I really enjoyed reading this story!

The foreshadowing was so, so good - sometimes what I expected happened but most of the time it changed at the last moment and completely morphed the story. Very impressive, and great for the character’s growth.

I still have questions, so I will need to read it again.

I have to start by saying I found this series through TikTok, where everyone was warning of the bullying and nonconsensual acts. That said, I was prepared for the majority of those moments in the story.

The beginning of the book was really interesting and did a great job of pulling me in. But I have to say that once the MCs got to the Academy, the massive data drop of characters, Orders, clubs, locations, classes, etc. I was LOST. I still am, even after finishing it. I almost feel like I need to take notes and have a cheat sheet to understand all of these things.

Plot wise, I'm invested. I want to keep reading (after I go back and read the prequel) to find out what is going to happen. This was the only thing that made me give it four stars instead of three.

Peeve: SO MANY errors. Whoever edited needs to do better.

August, Jane, and their friends will stay with me for a long while...
I fell in love with every character, wanted to know every subplot, and couldn't wait to cheer everyone in the story on when they got their happy endings! These characters feel like my friends; they have the same quirks, queerness, nerdy tendencies, and magick! And I can't not mention the banter.

I have new expectations for five star books thanks to One Last Stop. The writing is phenomenal - the plot makes sense, the subplots fit well together, the characters are loveable and their growth heartwarming (Myla is my fave), and not a single piece of any character's story was left open or unanswered.
