A great conclusion to the inheritance games trilogy. The twists the turns were so amazing and unexpected

the fact that Toby’s daughter betrayed Toby and Avery and helped kidnap him

such a great read, even though I’m not sure how the next two books go in the series I can’t wait to read them

The series should have ended on the second book, at least. All I could think since the very first page was that the author was really scrapping the bottom of a barrel where the food was also slightly past expiration date. Maybe if this book wasn't part of this series I would have been slightly more tolerant. To b honest, at some points I just skipped full pagest to end the suffering sooner. I do appreciate that the author at least tried to pretend this all had been planned from the beggining but there are only so many places a story that was already finished could go.

I would've loved more Nash. I did not expect the ending, not satisfying but it took me by surprise, which I like.

Just like the previous books, this kept me guessing the motives of Hawthorne bringing her into the fold and giving her his inheritance. The ending made sense and made reading the trilogy worth it. I don't plan to read the other books that follow as they're extra and not necessarily continuing the current story line but seem more like a companion style book but after the events of the trilogy.
