Fitting conclusion to the story arc that started in On the Buckle (or even Cold Backed), with Vi finally returning to her roots in Long Island and discovering a lot more than she bargained for.
Personally, I enjoyed the return of Ms. “Scissorhands” and her part in the story.
There is the usual snark, emotions running high, lots of action... And while the four-legged members of the cast are not as much at the forefront, this time, I still enjoyed the loving and realistic description of all things cat-, dog-, or horse-related.
