this was mind-bogglingly intricate

It was okay but overall it felt a bit underwhelming. I’m glad I’m done with it tho and that I read the series

The plot wasn’t that interesting to be honest and it got confusing at times. It was slow at first but then got a bit better I guess? I´m still not sure why Tobias chose her? I dont know how to feel about this book tbh and I dont know how to feel about the ending, it didn’t make a lot of sense?

Jameson and Grayson need psychologists not love interests but that’s a conversation we can have another day

When it comes to the love triangle it was non existent in this one. It felt the author put all her energy about it in the second one and then didn’t have time for it here. After this endgame I just feel like what was the love triangle even for? With that said let me just add - Grayson deserved better.

This series had potential and I loved the first book but the other two were just okay in my opinion
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Once again: Jennifer Lynn Barnes should pay our therapy. WHY JAMESON AND NOT GRAYSON. I understand why but grays will always be my favourite!! And yes ik this comment is really random but idc

the first 60% of this book was nothing special and rather boring. but…then it PICKED UP. that’s been a trend with this series; a slooooowwwww start, followed by a captivating end. I was super happy with the chess tourney and the queens gambit tie in! very fitting and clever! also the end felt like the correct conclusion. except for the love triangle. THATS THE WRONG BROTHER. oh and the whole grayson/eve thing was so. weird. but anyways very excited for the next two!!!

*3.75
it was pretty slow in the middle but i loved it!! great ending! i love the semi cliffhanger like "the grandest game" im so excited to find out what that is.
jennifer lynn barnes knows how to write twists and surprises so well that i'd have my jaw on the floor for 10 pages at a time. amazing series!!

Loved this trilogy.
