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.

One of the best trilogy books i've read in a while. The second book was the accelerant for this third book and it did not disappoint. Now i'm waiting to watch the movies the books were based off of.

It’s VERY slow from time to time and then sometimes it’s really fast. Like you find yourself yawning because of the unnecessary (but also necessary) details and then in the next chapter you can’t stop reading because there’s something REALLY big and exciting almost thing happening.
