Well, finished this pretty quickly. Mainly because I had two flights today, but also because I just wanted to get through it to come to a conclusion of some sort.
The second book of the series is the best. This last book was sort of confusing, no one seemed to be who they were in previous books. Overall I am ok with the conclusion to the trilogy although the steps to get there seem totally random and out of the blue.
