This felt like it took me forever to read and not really because of length but there is just so much happening in this book. So many characters and plot and subplots to follow and yes it was a lengthy read I found myself thinking many times near the end (because I was getting impatient) can we just get to the important stuff because a lot of the writing was a lot or at least felt like a lot of characters working through their feelings which understandably all the stuff they are going through there will be feels and I usually don't mind beautiful deep writing about all the emotions but this time around I could have done with less of it. If this is ever adapted for the screen it has to be a TV series because there is no way a movie could squish all this into 2-3 hours and be good. I am happy I finally got to finish this series, I picked up the first book years ago. 2011 or 2012 and I LOVED it so much, the sequels not as much but they were still very good reads.
This book got me engaged, involved. It kept me on the edge of my seat, it had me worrying, it had me hoping, there were a couple of places where I was almost praying... and there were parts that were so, so, so sweet... it made me cry. Of both sadness and happiness.
There were only a couple of things I wasn't happy about.
1) I WISH Eliza had reacted differently to the incident. I wish she had said: “Of course I'm distraught! I managed to flee a cult where I had been abused my whole childhood, and am studying a field I'm passionate about, and if you don't believe I'm innocent, if you don't believe that I didn't do this, I can kiss my career goodbye, no-one will ever take me seriously, and I'll go to jail for violating the agreement AND YOU ARE SENDING ME BACK TO THE CULT!”
2) I wish to know more about how the fake grandmother's life turned out. I wanted to see her punished.
3) I wanted to see the other guy punished.
And where will they find enough teeth to create enough bodies? Why aren't they using the teeth from the old bodies?
