I desperately hoped that me not liking the second book in this series was due to it being a classic "second book syndrome" installment. But here we are and I had to discover that the conclusion to this series is even worse than its prequel. Nothing made sense?? It was so confusing, and even though the series felt rather high-stakes to me (especially after the ending of book 2), somehow we end up with the lowest of low-stakes finales. What a disappointment.
