Jennifer Lynn-Barnes is a true mastermind with this third installment of The Inheritance Games. This book was written with incredible precision that the riddles upon riddles and games upon games will make you lose your mind. The very conclusion to the game that Avery and the boys are playing was perfectly laid out, and I appreciated Grayson finally opening up and acknowledging his imperfections and trauma. Gray will always be Gray, and Jameson and Avery will always love each other in the best way they know how. Avery’s character development in this book is unmatched and I liked her more than ever. For all the swifties, this book is Midnights coded! Anti Hero, Mastermind, and Karma are some tracks definitely up there. Moreover, the story is undoubtedly really good, with no loopholes to a perfect ending. This is now definitely one of my favorite YA series out there.
