The series as a whole is amazing. This third part, though you could probably remove half of the book that focuses on side characters and still get a gratifying ending to the the trilogy.

This is probably my least favorite in the girl with trilogy- however it is still very brilliant. the pay offs and connections and mystery unraveling is so satisfying. especially in this one where as the reader you know a lot more information than the characters so it is satisfying when they figure it out.

one of the best part was when Gianni just annihilates Teleraborn during the trial. best pay off every!!! 

this biggest hurdle for this book are the characters and knowing who is who. there are so many with very similar names which made this book tougher to get through at times.
