The Final Gambit
by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
dark
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Thoughts:
- I liked: the riddles and how all the pieces fell into place, Xander (underrated!!), Nash and Libby, the intriguing storyline, the last 2 chapters
- I disliked: the love triangle, Eve (her purpose is.. chaos?), the whole new storyline with a complete new villain, some characters behaviour, the chaos
Conclusion: I think Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a genius and I would love to see her behind the scenes process because the details were AMAZING! The characters felt flat to me, especially Jameson, Avery and Grayson, Eve and the new person (not going to spoiler you). Still enjoyed Oren and Xander!
Honestly, it was a lot. This whole book felt like a fever dream. The main ending was unsatisfying, Avery´s ending was still quite nice. Even though this last book was a little disappointing, the series is averaging out at a 4 star and I absolutely admire the author´s cleverness (excluding the messy characters).
