A disappointment
I'm unsure if I can adequately express how much I loved the first two books in this series. Not only were they creative and exciting, but they were also unique and well written. The first two books were so completely amazing that the idea of waiting over a year for the final installment in the series was both agonizing and unbearable. That being said, this book was a complete and utter disappointment.
Not only did we have new characters added to the story, but several characters from the first two books were completely abandoned and their stories were unfinished and incomplete. And even though abandoning those characters completely blows, some transformed into drastically different people that were in no way familiar to the ones we had seen from the first two books.
If that wasn’t enough, the book was also extremely long and drawn out. Not only were the first 250 pages unnecessary, but the ending came completely out of left field and felt rushed and unrealistic.
I could go on and list the rest of my grievances, but what would be the point? The book has already been published and I don’t have a magical crown that will allow me to travel back in time and fix it.
