Loop

This book took me out because I KNEW I had to finish the trilogy but it got so confusing??? And then I started to mix up characters from the first two books and then there was the super long desert part (I could only read like one page a day because desert parts kill me) and then the whole meta concept of like “we used technology to bring you to life and you are also Ryuji and Ryuji isn't real but also part of a different timeline” I just literally on my knees

I'm really excited for Birthday, though. I feel like it's going to be a lot more palatable. Overall I would probably rate the series 4 stars because I liked the integration of math/biology and I thought the characters are pretty cool. I STILL don't really understand the virus... like, is there really such a dichotomy between the sci-fi and horror aspects of this book? The Loop turned cancerous because of Sadako's spooky curse, which functioned like a virus? But ya I did enjoy the trilogy I'm definitely going to miss it
