Finally finished Guardian vol.3 and concluded the trilogy. However, I did find the 3rd book the weakest by far out of the three...

When we get to this point, we know a bit of the lore but then I feel we get "lore bombed" with all the things that led to the present of the story. I am a bit week with the whole "destined lovers/soulmates every lifetime" but I feel we didn't get enough of that in the end...

I also didn't particularly like the fact the whole crew were split up most of the book and we kept changing POVs... The overall villain was also such a weak characters, I felt the stakes were so low...

I do think that taking so long to actually get to this book massively impacted my enjoyment as well, so I will confirm that.

I do have plans to continue reading Priest even though by now I'm aware that I don't necessarily enjoy all of her work. Guardian is one of those series where the start is better than the ending, but still overall enjoyable.

The mythology lore bogs down the pacing and enjoyment, leaving the end disappointing.
