This finale was a bit of a shame. Though as I had already thought the second one was a little naff this carried on that trope and unfortunately got worse..
Why did I feel like Tomi was leaning further and further into writing a screenplay just filled with action scenes and looks from across the room? Why did all the characters have the same voice that is have to double check who I was reading as since they were saying the same things in the same ways? Why did certain characters not feature at all even though they paid a core role in the other two books. Characters seemed to have amnesia on their feelings and honestly I just didn't care anymore. Not sure how this happened as I adored these characters in the first book but the heavy writing really got in the way. A shame !
