A fulfilling conclusion to the trilogy. I really like how Neil Shusterman manages to write the books all very much in tune with each other without following the same formula or cadence. You learn to know how the characters operate and there are going to be twists and turns, but where and how and what - that is all a surprise. The only parts I don't always enjoy 100% about these books are the diary entries. They interrupt the flow, at least for me. That being said, I do accept their function and necessity, especially in this last installment. 
This is a really fun trilogy. A lot happens and it's "busy" so I'm sure it's one that in a few years time I can read again and, given enough time, can even be surprised by again.
