The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik
1.0

Ahoy there mateys! No one is more sad that I am that this final book in the trilogy walks the plank.  The other two books were five-star reads.  I do seem to be in the minority of the crew with this but this book just made me so grumpy.  El is just so mopey.  She spends no real time in the real world with her friends from school.  The romance aspects were awful.  The twists (especially all the ones concerning Orion) were so lackluster.  I liked the idea of the enclaves but not how the plot ended up working with them.  This plot felt so scattered.  And I feel like all the previous character growth died.  I wish this had been a duology with an epilogue about El's future. Arrr!
