I have never been so heartbroken upon finishing a series. The twists and turns, lovable characters, and overall found family have been such a special reading experience to me, and it would be a dream to read The Inheritance Games series for the first time all over again.
The Final Gambit follows Avery, just weeks until her billionaire status becomes final. As she hunts for answers following the events of book two, she’ll discover the truths about the inheritance, and herself, along the way.
On of my favorite elements of this book is how smart it is. The clues are shocking without being unreasonable, and the strategies needed to solve every riddle are impressive while still being fun. I was reminded greatly of Mr. Lemonchellos’s library, and twists and turns I loved as a kid.
That being said, love triangles have never been my favorite, especially with two brothers. However, this is no fault of the book, and I think the Inheritance Games handle it better than others.

It's a good ending to this trilogy! Lots of twists and turns, and of course, everyone's favorite riddles. I just think it could have done without all the love triangle-ness. I mean, I kinda figured it was coming, but there was just too much of it in this book.
Barnes did keep me on my feet, though! She introduces some new players in this book, but it doesn't feel like it's too much. It helps to keep the plot going, as do the short chapters. You know she loves to end those on a cliffhanger so you'll want to immediately read the next one. As one does.
All in all, if you're looking for a fast-paced mystery full of riddles and games, you'll love this series!

One of the best series I've read in my life. Incredible.
I'm so so unbelievably sad it's over. I can't even.

A really brilliant finale to the series. This book made me so emotional, which considering I barely cried for Archers Voice, is saying something. Such a good read, my favorite in the series for sure. We see the characters all in a different light in the end, so much development. Jennifer must be a genius to have this all plotted out, all of the foreshadowing from the beginning.
