And just like that, I'm done. Can't believe it only took me a little over a week to finish a whole book series, for me that's quite incredible. The plot was as always a mess and I left my disbelieve and logical thinking on the doorstep before entering the third and final installment of this trilogy. It was just like I expected a hot mess. So much trauma, torture, mafia, made-up-sport matches, and death. But what can I say, as much as all my friends judge me for it, I had a good time. Still wouldn't recommend it to anyone, though.
