It started off very slow and I was wondering how we would manage to answer all the plot points by the middle of the book. But halfway through the plot finally picked up and the last 350 pages were really gripping and I didn’t want to put it down anymore. The ending blew my mind as I did not envision it happening that way. I kept waiting for a plot twist and it didn’t come which I’m kinda glad but also not because I got to care about the characters. Overall it’s a very solid conclusion to the series I just wish it had started off quicker and didn’t have this slow meandering first half of the book.
