It's a good ending to this trilogy! Lots of twists and turns, and of course, everyone's favorite riddles. I just think it could have done without all the love triangle-ness. I mean, I kinda figured it was coming, but there was just too much of it in this book.
Barnes did keep me on my feet, though! She introduces some new players in this book, but it doesn't feel like it's too much. It helps to keep the plot going, as do the short chapters. You know she loves to end those on a cliffhanger so you'll want to immediately read the next one. As one does.
All in all, if you're looking for a fast-paced mystery full of riddles and games, you'll love this series!
