Tremontaine chapters are always amazing and this one is no exception. I love the characters and world building and of course the chocolate.

Oh my soul, do I ever love this serial. This penultimate episode of S3 delivers ACTION and SNEAKINESS and ACADEMIC BREAKTHROUGHS in the wake of PERSONAL GROWTH, all of which matter because the characters are so very wonderful. In a way, I'm glad I fell so behind week by week because it gave me the chance to binge this season and watch all this gloriousness unfold in one big glut. Bring on the finale.

couldn't get season 1 or 2 to even start review this sorry! So yup another series I can't start but wanted too!

Surrounded (Tremontaine #3.12)

The amazing aspect of this Mosaic novel is that you can miss episodes and still follow the storyline. The aspect of looking at the characters attempting to cope with the cliffhangers from the last season. You find the beauty of characters and this world in every story. The personal struggles of the characters is addictive.
