Overall, I enjoyed the story, however there were a few plot points that didn’t make sense or didn’t do anything to further the story. It also felt like it ended without wrapping up all the final pieces which after two books and the main plot completed is a bit frustrating.  It would have been nice to get an epilogue and see a bit further into the future. 
It also felt like there were some continuity issues with facts we learned in the first and second book, but that could be more of an issue with my memory than the writing.

Disappointed. Too many weird questions unanswered. Did the editor read this before publishing?
