I had to put this book down for a few days before I got back into it because I was in so much pain from the second book, "The Empress." Before I proceeded, I was actually in the process of detaching myself, accepting whatever the plot led to, and I was waiting for the worst. And the worst did happen in the best way possible. Every turn of the story felt like a climax, and there were a lot of them. You are compelled to continue reading to find out what happens next. The storytelling is astounding. I came to love this book so much. But this is not for the faint of heart because the thrills, twists, and betrayal agenda keep you enraged to the point where you just have to read. Anyway, I will be pondering over this mind-boggling novel for a long time. It is so well-executed.

4.5

As with any final book in a series, obviously this isn't as good as the first. I was surprised by The Diabolic because I really didn't expect it to be so good. I have to say this was a pretty good conclusion to the trilogy and I was really glad that Nemesis didn't have to be all good and be the hero. Anyway, there were a lot of plot twists that I kind of saw coming but they were done really well.
