The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.  3 out of 5 stars.  I borrowed this book from my local library

This book was well written and had not grammatical errors.  The plot was a little bit more tense than the first two and seemed more urgent than the first two.

Why it only got 3 stars:  I have struggled so much with this series.  It is so hard to like the characters.  I get it that they are mostly just teenagers, but their interactions with each other are rather shallow and sometimes cliche.  I did like the ending.  That finally did make me like the characters.  I do not think it was a waste of my time to read this book, nor was it difficult.  However, I will not be rereading nor buying for my library.

Recommend for 14+.  Good book overall.
