I am still loving that we get to revisit the Evergreen characters and see what they are up to and how they interact with other characters. New people are always joining the crew and the reader really gets to see how different pasts and traumas affect the character’s life and future. While I would not have particularly cared to hear any more of the villainous Delilah, I do have some insight into how she became based on this new installment.
