This is the conclusion to the Stealing Infinity trilogy and picks up with Natasha coming back from Italy with the Moon. Natasha takes a secret Trip traveling back in time in order to get training from her father and learn from him what she must do to defeat Arthur and prevent him from playing God with the completed Antikythera Mechanism once the Star is retrieved. 

Natasha, Braxton, Elodie, Killian, Arthur, and many more Gray Wolf Academy characters re-emerge in this last story. Natasha still questions everyone's loyalty to Arthur and has begun to see if she has anyone else she can convert to her side. Many of the common characters have major developments in their growth, and there are some plot twists, some foreseen or could be guessed at.

I really liked this dystopian romance and am happy to have an ending to the trilogy. It might just be me, but I thought the very ending was a little rushed or anticlimactic to a conclusion of their journey. Still, I loved all the art, music, and historical references throughout and enjoyed this series.
