I loved this series when I read the first book but this third one was a bit of a let down compared to the other two. Even so, it's a great wrap up to this trilogy and I don't see how else Roshani Chokshi could have concluded the series without pisses off the readers.
Roshani Chokshi's writing has improved fantastically over her past few books so this was a solid piece of writing. The heist was action packed, the descriptive language was vivid but not overdoing the purple prose. I love the cast of characters, the found family dynamic, the reconnections and new friendships built, the strong character growth and more.
I did feel like some of the characters got off a little too easy for some of the out of line shit they pulled in all three books but these characters are clearly beloved to Roshani so I didn't really predict her putting them through more trauma than they've already been through.
A solid conclusion!
