I felt it was a really nice and concise ending. Everything ended up addressed which I liked, I do feel the climax at the end could have been a bit more drawn out, it ended fairly quickly.

• After a YEAR and 5 months, I’ve finally finished the inheritance games series. Well, I guess not because there’s a fourth book coming but it was supposed to be a trilogy so I’m considering it done. Also the fact that I waited months to read this just to binge it in a day at the end made me furious at myself 😭
• I read the first two books in January of 2022. I absolutely loved them but by the time this came out, I’d completely forgotten everything and kept putting it off. I was finally over it & watched a recap of the first two on YouTube so I can read this.
• Right away, I was really bored. There didn’t seem to be much happening in the mystery aspect. A lot of it was focused on the love triangle and teenage drama that wasn’t even interesting. I thought I wouldn’t be able to put this down but I was dying for it to be over.
• Pretty much every review I’ve ever seen of this has been criticizing who Avery ends up with but to be honest, I couldn’t care less because she didn’t have chemistry with either of them & she continued to make the dumbest decisions and then proceeded to act surprised when she was in danger.
• There were also a ton of time jumps. Every chapter would skip weeks to months and I just felt disoriented reading this.
• As with the first two books, I really disliked Max. The dialogue itself & the other characters were childish enough without her addition and I was cringing every time she talked. I also didn’t like the “trendy” references. It was clear that the targeted audience for this book was Tik tok, as it says on the cover.
• The ending was so predictable and I just felt like I wasted my time reading about a bunch of clueless characters that can’t see what’s right in front of them.
• I think it’s safe to say I won’t be reading the fourth book. There’s another series by this author that I’m interested in reading though and I’ve heard good things about it

This was a super disappointing end to the series. I liked the development & the story line of the first 2 but the last third of the book was just, meh.. I wasn’t expecting it..
I am a fan of mystery’s and riddles so that kept me going and some of the characters are so good! I really did like the series and am glad I stuck it out. Just not something I will reread..

I can’t believe that this trilogy is over. I loved all three books and can’t believe it’s over.
The first half of this book was slow paced as the plot hadn’t kicked of yet. Nearer the end it definitely got more intense to the point where I could barely put the book down.
I didn’t like Eve from the beginning and found almost every scene with her in a bit annoying.
Grayson acted like a completely different person in this book, which was a bit strange.
I felt that the chess matches at the end of the book went way to quickly to end the rivalry with Vincent Blake.
However, I did throughly enjoyed this book.
I loved seeing Avery and Jameson working together on the different riddles and watching there relationship grow in trust and love.
The book flowed smoothly and was detailed, with lots of mystery’s.
Overall, I definitely recommend reading this trilogy, as it was fun, quick and easy to read!

This book including the rest of the series was absolutely amazing! A perfect series for the mystery genre. It was definitely complicated but it wasn't so out there that you couldn't play along. I could make predictions and it was actually possible to be right. The romances were perfectly complicated, and sometimes silent smile or squeal worthy. This book was an experience. Through Avery you could understand other and her own expressions and tones implication's. Amazingly written, a roller coaster, a thrill, an adventure. A gambit.

It took me awhile to get back into this one because it had been awhile since I read the second book. So there was lots I had to catch up on and so many characters and their personalities to remember. Thus, I found it slow and a bit less interesting than I expected. That is until I got to the last third of this book and could not put it down. I loved the climax and ending so much, altogether this trilogy has been so much lighthearted, mysterious fun. I would definitely recommend.
