It was a decent book. My personal favorite in the series was the second book, but this one was pretty good too. The plot was interesting and kept me hooked. I feel like I really understood and knew the characters at this point in the story. The modern media references are one of the biggest downfalls of the book. They break the immersion. However, the conflicts kept me on the edge of my seat. The ending was satisfying and I feel like the story is complete. It would be cool to know the main character’s futures, but it was still a nice end. It’s definitely going to be weird reading a new book without these characters.
