I read this review on Jay’s Patreon months ago but wanted to log my review. As usual, it’s an outstanding contribution to the series. What stuck with me was a very welcome tie-in to the Something Like series, and the ending, which I won’t spoil. I’m very interested to see where the final third of this series brings us!
