Just as compulsively readable as the first two books in the series, this one was a fast read because I didn't want to put it down. It was the ending that came out of the blue for me and knocked it from 4 stars for me. 

I enjoyed the characters and character development. I like how their relationships have grown in realistic ways. I didn't feel like the "who" and "why" of this one was as strong as the first one - it's definitely the strongest of the three. Still, it's a fun ride and I recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first two books. If you haven't read those, definitely read the series in order, you'll spoil so much and miss the great character development if you read them out of order!
