My thirteen year old self felt a little queasy reading it, and I have a super tough stomach when it comes to violence in books or movies. The fight that lands Sophie and Fitz in the Healing Center is pretty graphic, too. The writing is totally engrossing, Shannon Messenger has crafted a great style that sweeps you away and leaves you feeling like an emotional wreck after the book is over, so the hundreds of pages in the Healing Center were actually pretty interesting even though not much really happened. Some stuff is really great, (Sophie and Keefe’s spirited, feisty banter and magnetic chemistry, anything with Ro, and the fact that Dex has finally gotten over Sophie) and other stuff is just meh. For one thing, we get basically no answers about anything besides Silveny’s pregnancy and the fact that Fitz likes Sophie (ugh, Fitzphie is SO gross), so if you’re wondering if you can skip a book, this would be the book to skip, though I definitely don’t recommend doing that. Flashback starts with a bang and ends with a BOOM, but the in-between can be super slow.
