I love the concept and enjoyed it overall but I'm a bit disappointed by how this trilogy ended. This book felt very rushed. Not just in the story that had a lot of loose ends flapping by the end but also in the editing / publishing process. There were multiple consistency errors, sometimes within a single page. The MCs motivational flipping flopping became even more pronounced than it was in book 1 and 2 and it culminates in an ending that is muddled and unsatisfactory.
