My feelings about this one stay pretty consistent to the others in the trilogy.
I didn't feel invested fully until about 60% into the book. I then sped through it and all the twists come flying at you. It wasn't all necessarily good though because I felt that some of these moments fell flat after the build up. There were a lot of parts that were repetitive and droned on, which was a key reason I took so long to get through this one.
Overall though, there were some interesting scenes, decent action, and a good feeling of found purpose/family that I did enjoy.
This and the entire trilogy is a solid 3 ☆'s for me.
