Well… Xander continues to be awesome. I continue to hate love triangles. There's a puppy, but he doesn't get nearly enough page time. And I'm not at all satisfied with the situation

Harry was left in

. Really, the only non-Xander, non-puppy part I liked was at the end where

the immoral hoards of wealth were redistributed

.

It was not as enjoyable to read as the other books, but despite all the stuff that I felt was a bit unnecessary, but I still ended up enjoying it a lot in the end. I think that pitting 2 people together (ifykyk) was a bit unnecessary, but it does show who is more suitable mentally, but it may not be the correct one. I think that some of the things that go on in the book could have gone a different direction but I guess it did end up well. I can't say more because I don't want to spoil the book but it did quite a good job closing the series, although I was still a bit disappointed as it could have been better, but as I said earlier, I quite enjoyed it.

wowowoww what a finish. i think i thoroughly enjoyed this book as much as the others but it tended to drag on a bit in some places. the story itself was structured a lot differently than the other two and i think it was a Little jarring, but we got lots of great character development from so many of the characters!! the series overall i might give like a 4.5 ? a 5 stars ? i wonder if my ratings would get higher if i reread them. ik for a fact i did get so attached to these characters and i just want to soak up everything related to this series LMAO also

bc i want to brag, I FUCKING WONNNN I ALWAYS WINNNNNNN TEAM JAMESON LET'S GOOOOOO
