3.5

A semi satisfying end to this series. I had to look up a synopsis of the second book and was still a bit confused by how some of the characters are literally related. However it’s not super critical imo to understand all that. I do wish the Hawthorne brothers would go to therapy.
I felt the actual end to the whole main plot (the chess game) was a bit anticlimactic. However I did enjoy what Avery does with her fortune, and it being a criticism of billionaires in general.


1/5🌶 (it’s a bit unclear to me whether any spice actually happens or if it’s just closed door. They literally could have just been sleeping in the same bed)
