This books does bring the series to a close quite nicely, however, I found myself dreading some of the chapters, and skipping the long descriptive paragraphs. The plot felt very forced in some places, as if the author simply wrote anything just to get the book to be as long as the other two. I do enjoy the historical references and the alchemical stuff, so the world building is, as always, such a great. 

Still could’ve been much shorter and straight to the point
