AHHH THIS ONE WAS REALLY GOOD 
Great ending. Ton of questions that I don’t think are ever resolved (purposefully). A mountain of them. So many that it raises the question : was this intentional? But I’m sure it was. Definitely left open ended for the readers imagination. That’s like half the book. One question that really bugged me though was
the pregnancy, what the hell happeneed there? does she actually have a baby inside her? or is it the dohta - the shadow of tengo and aomames hearts??? don’t give me this garbage that she was impregnated through a 17 year old girl. not cool.
 
Fast paced and a gripping story. The series was long as hell but it didn’t feel like it, which is definitely a good sign. Absolutely amazing.

It's a bit of a step down from the previous two books in the series. Not much happens; things are very slow. That makes it quite different from the previous two books, which were quite thrilling.
