I think I stand by the 3 stars, but I had a sudden memory of reading Meg for the first time--directly after finishing Sybil. I started crying somewhere in the first chapter, and I am sure I just didn't stop. (A testament to Sybil, surely.)

2026 update--i'd somehow forgotten that Nicky did a Claire to finance Princeton. And somewhere in there, lied about a hit-and-run accident. oof.

I guess I don't usually read Meg as part of my Sebastian reread (don't know why), but this time I remembered when I have and why I would.

A nice conclusion to the series. Wrapped up all the loose bits and filled in some blanks. Got all choked up at the end...
