Review
This is the final book in the trilogy. I wanted to finish this series even if the previous book’s ending was a little underwhelming. As usual, it’s a quick and easy read which was totally okay to finish my month with.
Likewise, I was exhausted by this point about this love triangle that didn’t need to be there as I didn’t feel any alchemy between the three characters. I liked them separately but not in this position, as, at some point, it felt even forced. Sadly, as the end is happening and the tension needs to find closure, here you are with a ton of discussion between those three, which is sometimes too much and out of context.
The end was so underwhelming for me, as you usually have the most competent people, but they finished by being tricked, like how! The worst for me was that, in the end, the “bad guy” was someone entirely out of reach, and I felt a little played without knowing I won’t find them. Also, the explanations for her being chosen by Tobias Sr are so stupid, like it doesn’t have anything to do with her, and I felt it was a little unfair to her. Okay, she has the money, a boyfriend, and a new family, but she was nearly killed a hundred times, and she went through a ton of emotions, and some weren’t good ones.
Lastly, I felt that I had already read the book in the first and second ones. Yes, it’s compelling, but I was fed up with all those puzzles, etc, which makes it repetitive. I just wanted direct answers, and that was too much for me.
Even if this series was not really for me, I understand why people love it so much, and we have this stupid marketing sticker on the cover (and you can’t remove it).
Liz.
