This is the weakest of the trilogy and definitely the most frustrating. Linda and Hastings were completely out of character and thus barely relevant to the plot which was frustrating. Also, where they ended up at the end just didn't make any sense at all.
Seph was having to operate at a plot armored driven level of superhuman ability. It was downright irritating because it didn't feel earned.And no one will be able to convince me that he allowed his parents to just move halfway across the world without him after all he wanted was a family. It just doesn't make sense. Also Jack and Linda were so attached! I don't understand it.
Madison and Jason both irritated me the whole book. The best parts of the book were the ones with Jack and Ellen. I also did appreciate Seph. It makes sense that he would drive himself to the point of ruin to prove he can handle it as well as his parents. It was sad but made sense for his character.
The twist at the end with Nick was a surprise that I am not sure how I feel about. I'll reserve judgement because I don't feel like I really cared that much at the end. I do appreciate that the fear of the dragon was fully unearned and toothless.
All in all though, I love this story and this world, even if I think it went a bit off the rails in this book. The whole thing felt like Chima wasn't sure where this would go and kinda made it up as she went along. I am struggling with rating this. I did not like this book much at all, but I enjoyed the first two so much. I think this book gets a 2.75 stars because there were some chunks I liked and some character arcs I enjoyed even if I think the story and many characters had a lot of issues. The series as a whole gets a 4 stars though even if the ending is unsatisfying.

Hard to get into the third book of the series. Didn't really care much for the characters since they didn't seem to care about much either. They all just seemed to have an "I'll fend for myself and see what happens" attitude.
Wasn't very fond of the ending either. Why were some main characters for the series a no-show for the final battle? Guess they were too busy picking out new furniture.

Ebenso 3-3,5 Sterne.
Ich wurde das Gefühl nicht los, dass schwierig zu schreibende Themen in der Zukunft #Sucht #Identitätskrise durch eine abgehackte Lösung am Ende eliminiert wurden. Verstehe nicht wie sich Hastings und Lydia verhalten haben. Es hat mich einfach nicht soo mitgerissen und es endete ziemlich abgeschlossen. Das und die Rezensionen zu 4 bringen mich dazu die Serie hier zu beenden.
Außerdem musste ich dank Netflix bei Trinity dauernd an Cheerleading denken. Vielleicht war das zum Nachteil für diese Serie.

I really enjoy this series and this author's books in general. That said, I rated this one a little lower because it's been my least favorite of them so far.
