I was actually fairly excited getting into this one after the improvements in the second book and it being the final book of the Trilogy.
However I felt like the first half was really rough. To me the series kind of lost all its momentum right there. To a point where I was seriously considering DNF'ing or atleast reading something else in between. Apparantly slowing down is not very good for this series. I can't really pinpoint it exactly but somehow having all the characters together in one place really wasn't good for the story.
I decided to push though and thankfully during the second half and with things leading up to the climax were much improved and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending was also fine. Nothing to groundbreaking but everything neatly tied up.
With this being a final book of a series, I can help but feel disappointed overall. So I'm giving it the lowest rating of all the books in this Trilogy.
