 (4.5 stars) SPOILERS AHEAD. 
 EMOTIONS. (Only at the end, but still. EMOTIONS.) SO MANY EMOTIONS. 
 I have a couple of things to say and I don't know how to say all of them but I'll try. 
 Give me a second to get my thoughts in order... Okay. Here we go. 
 So. I definitely think this book was the best of the trilogy. There was almost never a dull moment, I feel like I connected with the characters more, and the writing was much, much better. 
 Despite that I think it was wonderful, I'm also kinda mad that Gabriel died. Like, yes, I am also extremely sad about it, but it just seems wrong that the only two confirmed gay characters in this story are the ones who don't survive/who turn into TREES. (Or a tree, I guess.) 
 Besides that complaint, I did cry. Oh, I cried a whole lot. Not necessarily at Gabriel's death, but at Nathan trying to write (even though he can't) "To Edge, From Nathan" even though he can't. Oh BOY I'm getting emotional just thinking about that. Also, at Nathan becoming a tree (which I think is kinda dumb but whatever) and just his thoughts after Gabriel's death. I CRY. 
 That's about all I have to say. This book has improved vastly compared to its predecessors, but it still had its faults, and those faults were more in the content than the writing. Nonetheless, I enjoyed Half Lost and I would recommend it to anyone who has any interest in it.
