Content warning: Suicide. The entire plot revolved around other Gifted people killing themselves and Noah trying to figure out why and if he can stop them. There are SEVERAL suicides and multiple methods mentioned and at least a couple of them are described in detail. There is a pretty extensive trigger warning at the start of the book, which isn't in the best taste but I do still think it's helpful.

A quick read that I got through easily during a reading slump, for which I appreciate it. But this was pretty boring. It's a lot of the characters being in one apartment and talking for 5 chapters, then going to another apartment and talking for 5 chapters, then back to the first place, back to the second place, and so on and so on.

For all the talking I had no idea what was going on.

There were several new characters added but I feel like they were just background noise. Mara and Jamie, who we know well from the first series, felt like shadows of themselves. I don't think their characters were destroyed or anything, it was just seeing them through Noah's lens made them less prominent.

I feel pretty meh about this, but I didn't hate it, and it was true to what The Retribution of Mara Dyer established and how cagey Hodkin can be about her mysteries. The ending did make me curious about what will happen next.
