I realized a little bit into this, the third novel of the series, that if the author omitted every pointless argument between characters which ultimately has no effect on the story, each book would be 20 pages long. And still probably have only a handful of sentences that don't make you want to smash your own head in with a hammer.

Since I didn't expect the previous book to take the final turn that it did, I had no idea what to expect with this third and final book. I was pleasantly surprised that while there were comparisons to events from the other books (i.e.: Abraham showing up unexpected at Matilda's front door), it wasn't an identical re-tread. The problems faced by Matilda and her friends were just as unpredictable and dangerous as in the previous books, though this one closed out with a lot more action. I don't like time travel stories but I appreciated that this one only switched between two "worlds." I loved some of the final secrets and the hurdles Matilda encountered when it came to the new Abraham. It was a great addition to the story and there was nothing that I thought was holding it back or unnecessary conflict. Old faces reappeared in the best ways, and while I was biting my nails pretty hard at some points, I was very pleased with the outcome. I definitely had a great time reading yet another book from an awesome urban fantasy author and look forward to doing so again!

I was so scared she would have a sad ending. Those notes at the beginning of each chapter are confusing! I kind of want to go back to book 1 an reread those to see if they make sense. I got the references with book 2 and 3. There may be spoilers after this point.
The minor differences each character has in this time line, even though they're mostly the same, was interesting. I usually hate stories and shows (other than doctor who) that mess with time. This was more of a fixing but not completely destroying so it didn't make me uncomfortable. Ugh took Slater too long to get his. I was sad that Robert was gone for good though. The timeway she ended up in was perfect! It had its issues but wow twas tailored to her. The grandma surprise definitely threw me and I was not expecting that at all. I liked it and it gave the story character. I wish there was more to read in this series. I may check to see if the author plans any but it had a pretty tide finish so would just be how she settles in after. Does she come clean with everyone that she's not the woman they've known for 28 or whatever years? Little things.

This series really grew on me. I was a little disappointed in the speed this final book moved but on the end am really happy about the resolution.

I did it. I went to the store with a coupon and bought book 3 in the trilogy pretty much as son as I finished book 2. I did give myself a book in between, but this almost back-to-back with a series, let alone an author, is pretty unheard of for me. I am practically on a Monk bender. I make special dispensation for certain authors and certain of their books. Devon Monk and House Immortal trilogy is that exception.
Each book is superbly told. This time around, there's a different timeline. Matilda is thrown into an alternate universe/timeline with the same people, human and galvanized alike, but in different situations. The only two who are any kind of similar are Matilda and her nemesis. She has to kill him before he kills her and everyone she loves in the name of world domination.
Devon Monk is in the top of my favorite authors. I have never been disappointed in anything she's written. This is absolutely my favorite of her series/trilogies. I am sad it is at an end, but this is on the keeper shelf, so I can revisit Matilda and her world/s.
Definite recommend.

Thanks Netgalley for a copy to read and review.
I loved this series! I hate to see it end though. Let's give the Ned's a HEA. Or Foster. I want more. I hate it when a perfectly good series ends. The imagery and world building sucked me in and let's face it....no one writes like Devon Monk! Such fantastical stories! In this one Matilda arrives back in her time after fixing time and realizes things are not back to normal. Yes everyone is here, but nothing is as what it should of been. A Piece of the time machine has been lost and its up to her to find it so she can fix everything once and for all. Matilda was such a heroic character and the galvanized were such great characters. Five star entertainment and definitely a one click author!
