The end of The Final Gambit is as riveting as the beginning of The Inheritance Games for a reverse parabola of page-turniness. And I finally got my "what does a person need billions of dollars for" moment.
at a certain point, it's not about the money, because you couldn't spend billions if you tried. It's about the power." I looked down. "And I just don't think anyone should have power like that, certainly not me."
It's wild to me, though, that in the whole trilogy, through being in love-ish with two of the brothers, best friends-ish, with another, and potentially an in-law with the fourth, she never considers giving them "back" any of their grandfather's estate. I'd love to read a Marxist analysis of the books!
