sadly this last book in this trilogy didn’t work for me. 

and i will never know if that is because it took me to long to read this - i read the other ten books more than 6 years ago and should have continued on with this one sooner and not let so many years pass to finish this off- or if this last book really does lack and is a bit of a mess. 

the writing was easy to read but the plot was messy in my opinion. i don’t know that was because all the characters came together or if this whole “whisper” stuff just wasn’t explained and developed enough for me to make sense. 

for me the first in in this series was definitely the strongest book and the others took a steady slight down into okay but i wish they would be better. 

this book wasn’t bad but it could have been good if everything would have been a bit better explained instead of focusing a little too much on the characters instead of trying to make the actual plot and the whole “whisper” stuff work. 


 i am happy i finished this off but i am sad it didn’t end well for me but with a disappointing read. 


and i do sadly think that while the first book was fun there are better sci-fi books and series out there now that are a better time investment then this particular trilogy. 
i think it was very much a product of the time is was published in - which is fine we need books like that too and they had their moments and now there are other books that are done better. 
or i guess for readers that are new to this particular genre or subgenre might still get something out of it…


oh well. 

overall it was an okay series that could have been great with a bit krone focus in plot instead of romance relationship focus.
