was missing the fun allure of the first two bite risks but I thought the plot was quite clever

My initial thoughts after reading this: wowowow.
I both couldn’t wait and was sad as I’m uncertain if this is the final instalment of this awesome series. I didn’t want it to end but I couldn’t wait to see what else was going to happen. I reread the second one to prepare for this one so I was all set and it was fresh in my head.
I’ve loved these characters and the world they inhibit. It’s a really compelling story and this one had bigger stakes than ever. Poor Sel has a lot to contend with and with a new strain of Corpus pilori, people are scared and lashing out.
I always looked forward to Buddy reading this with a cup of coffee in the morning. I slowed down the read and really got into every page. It was super enjoyable and I’ve really come to love this author. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this writer and hope there will be more in this series too. I’ve so enjoyed them all so much and can’t wait to get stuck into whatever else this author produces!

I read and loved with all my heart the other two books, so I'm really excited for this one!!

These books are too short I want them to be longer!

A very good conclusion to the trilogy, although I think the first 2 were the best. For now this seems to be the last book, but the ending actually seemed to leave it open for another installment.
