I had a number of problems with this book. I liked CB - until the end. I hated the ending. With so many lies and coverups going around, when you finally get what’s supposed to be the “real story”, you’re still waiting for someone to confess that that’s a lie too. (And honestly, it sounds like a lie. Like a conspiracy theory. The fake stories sounded better than the truth.) And somehow a 9 year old is fixing technology and giving relationship advice?

Briddey never really grows a spine, or stops coming up with incredibly implausible theories. I don’t know what CB sees in her. And this book takes a dramatic shift from romantic comedy to... something much more sci-fi adventure based which I absolutely did not see coming. (Maybe I should have.)

I just feel like this book is four different stories and if the author could have just picked one story and written only that one, we’d have a better book. As it is, it is a messy, chaotic whirlwind whose point ends up getting lost in the storm.

This was great - even if I didn’t understand a number of it. I loved the action, the tense atmosphere, the post apocalyptic world, the interaction with gods. I really just loved this and am super excited for Storm of Locusts.

This is a hilarious, quick read (with the exception of a few panels that prove that there are awful people out there). I loved it and I learned a lot. Thank you.

Good ending to a great (if slightly wacky) series. It was sometimes almost too tense to read but well worth it.

Oof. This book is ... holy cow.

I think this is my first experience with grimdark. And let me start off by saying that I’m not a fan.

Obviously, I can’t judge an entire sub genre by one book, but from my understanding of grimdark, they are gritty and grisly. This book was so much so that I had to skim entire pages to get past certain scenes.

That being said, I enjoyed this. It’s got a good adventure to it, good pacing and tension. There’s a lot of good sarcasm in here that I appreciated, good quips and one liners. And the book really kept me hooked - even though my overactive sense of empathy required me to take frequent breaks.

I need a rest from this series, but I’ll probably maybe continue after a little time.

A satisfying ending to a good ghost hunting series.

Side note: I would totally read books about adult Cas hunting ghosts while trying to hold down a job and be a normal adult.

This is a perfectly sweet epilogue to Vice and Virtue. I actually laughed (which is rare for a book to inspire in me). Just a light fluff piece and I really loved it.

I would have given this a better score, as I kind of enjoyed this. Even though lots of tension could be eased if the characters talked to each other about stuff and didn't make stupid assumptions. But it there's racism and homophobia from a specific character and it's never really dealt with. The character is never properly told off or confronted for the things they have said and done. And that just sticks with me.
