slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I don’t even know where to start with this book. The beginning was 1. Confusing and 2. Honestly not needed. I struggled so hard to get through this book. 2/3 into it, I thought it was picking up the pace to get chops but nope.. just boring. And the end was not it for me. It was just a group of people talking in a circle and it felt like they were just repeating themselves.

Right off the deep end into unreadable with this one. Deeply stupid and troubling worldbuilding with a tiring and infuriating cast of characters to go with that

I think this is more of a 3.5 star reading than a solid 4 stars thing.
It definitely had pacing issues and the conclusion to the problem was surprisingly easy in the end. I couldn't exactly say what it was lacking but it was missing something.

This 3rd installment is very different from the first two- in feeling; narrative and plot. But I think every book so far needs to be seen as an individual part of the whole story.

I still had fun reading this conclusion and even though I'm not blown away by The Queen of the Damned I want to continue the Chronicles (even though I swore to myself I wouldn't, but that's how it is sometimes).
