Really enjoyed this whole triology. The final book was a good wrap up and conclusion. There were some parts of the story (pivotal character moments) where I felt the book moved too quickly and I didn’t understand/trust the motivations of the characters. Overall good though and sucked me into the story much like the first two. 

One complaint about the audiobook version is with so many different narrators there were inconsistencies in pronunciation that I found disruptive as there were a couple times I didn’t realize different narrators were talking about the same thing until it came up a couple times.
