Update, per Faith's 10/19/22 newsletter:

SPECIAL NEWS REPORT!

Soooo…
I know you are all asking. What’s next for the JY world? It can’t be dead and gone can it?
Hmmm.
I took a poll among the street team and the winner by far was a series spinoff novel set in the future featuring Angie and (tangentially) Edmund. I have found the voice, and it’s set twenty years in the future. I like it but I don’t totally love it yet. I have no idea if the editors will like it, but I have eleven pages and by the time I hit twenty-five pages, I will know if this is going anywhere or if it got boring.

Thoughts after Reading
Finale confirmed. Sniffling continues. 🥲

"The future isn't composed of just one path, one single decision, one event. The present may be composed of those things, but not the future. The one butterfly we step on today doesn't make us who we are going to be tomorrow."

I highlighted so much of this book it looks like a glowworm barfed all over it. I read so slowly. I didn't want it to end. Hunter (and her timeline/continuity chickie) did a great job of reminding us of all the threads while weaving them into an action-packed finale. If I'm being honest, a little too action packed. I wouldn't have minded (at all) a bit more chill time for all of our hard-working, much-changed, bad-assed JY/DQ members. After having JY 1-2 books over the past 13 years, I'll very much miss reconnecting with these characters. I'd love it if she did another sort of spin-off with continued cameos in Soulwood, but I'll take what I can get.

Initial thoughts after seeing title
Okaaaay, “final” in the title doesn’t sound good … is this *sob* the *sniffle* fin- *gasp* finale?! Say it isn’t so! It can’t be. I’m. Not. Ready. 😢 ...more

Jane Yellowrock is my #1 and my best! I am so, so sad for this to end but at the same time I do think that she does deserve some peace.

What I loved:
- It seemed like just about everyone made an appearance or was mentioned. I was glad that we got to see everyone one more time.

- All of the action! I love a fast paced book! I always wonder how Faith Hunter is going top her previous book or where the story is going to go next. She’s never let me down.
