Just like the previous books, this kept me guessing the motives of Hawthorne bringing her into the fold and giving her his inheritance. The ending made sense and made reading the trilogy worth it. I don't plan to read the other books that follow as they're extra and not necessarily continuing the current story line but seem more like a companion style book but after the events of the trilogy.

The third book in The Inheritance Games trilogy, The Final Gambit is a nice wrap up of Avery’s story. Unfortunately this book wasn’t quite 4 stars the way the first two were. Some of Avery’s thoughts were, imo, too repetitive. Also the romantic angst for Avery choosing between Jameson and Grayson was just a bit too much and went on entirely too long in the narrative of this third book.

I felt it was a really nice and concise ending. Everything ended up addressed which I liked, I do feel the climax at the end could have been a bit more drawn out, it ended fairly quickly.
