The Retribution of Mara Dyer

No spoiler review:
I was nervous and excited to see how Hodkin would wrap up this amazing trilogy. This series is like nothing else I've ever read. It is horrifying and poetic, but also a perfect romance. The ending, without giving anything away, was exactly the ending the story needed. It surprised me how much I loved it. It is hard for me to explain more without giving it away. I will say, each character is deepened and filled with personality until you feel like you know them personally. I fully approve.
The read overall was more painful in some ways than the previous two. There were a few things in the book I could have done without, but overall a strong conclusion.
If you loved the series, you will not be disappointed.

****Spoiler review******
It has been a while since I read the last book, and in the gap I forgot how much these books mess with your head. This one does so less than previous, but there are still plenty of “What just happened?” moments which I really love about the trilogy.
The most notable flaw I think was the double not real death scenes from Noah and Mara both. One was fine, but both felt...well I was with Jamie on this one. What even?
In general though, the story went such interesting directions. I adored the reveals about Lukumi and Mara's grandmother. I loved how Jamie becomes more flesh and blood. And I've always adored Daniel, so seeing him become a real main character was perfect.
And the ending. The way the story tied back to the first novel, and ultimately it was not about saving the world, or understanding the horror, it was always a love story. That was perfect.
