I felt things went by a little fast at the end. I feel that portion of the story needed to be expanded upon. Other than that, really enjoyed this book.

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? Yes
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I wanted to like this book. No, I wanted to LOVE it. The first two are sitting happily on my favorites list, but somehow the end of this one just really really turned me off. I really can't pinpoint what it was.

I think I wanted to be ignore the whole tension between George and Shaun. But unfortunately it went the way I didn't want it to go, things got awkward, my ships sank, the clone coming back basically negates all the feelings I had for characters in the first two books, and if I hear anymore about how George needs a Coke, I'm going to punch someone. We get it, you're addicted and I bet you have cavities.

And I'm done. I loved my characters in the last books, I didn't like where it ended up.
