All the comments that say nothing happens or makes sense until page 300 are kind of right. But it’s still awesome!

More like 3.25 but unless there is something huge jumping out, I feel it’s better to be generous.

I’m writing this review based on the actual book itself, not on the controversy of the author. I bought this before that all happened, and having this, unread on my shelf, was giving me anxiety.

The story flounders around a bit for the first half. I couldn’t get engrossed, the writing felt like it needed a good edit, and I was very confused. Potentially this is because I had such a big gap between reading book 2 and this finale, but also, I again felt like it needed an edit.

After 50%, I finally started to get pulled into the story a bit more and understand what was going on. It was a satisfying ending.
