Despite a start that seemed inconsistent with the prior tone, this final Hazard book turned out pretty well.
I liked the unconventional way that the story dealt with the death of the mentor figure in the hero's journey. The mentor was not traditional, nor was her figurative death.
The future novels, which will combine the Hazard and Delver LLC streams, will have to overcome the hurdle of protagonists who are greatly over-powered. I'm eagerly awaiting the result.

Excellent
On the words of the author, “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
And it really was worth mine and your time.

Mini-Review:
2.5 Stars for Narration (Narrator style detracted from the story.)
4 Stars for Concepts
2 Stars for Execution/Delivery of Concepts
3 Stars for Characters
My fav part of the story were the very minor snippets about Delvers Inc. The story climax deflated the whole series for me. I had a hard time seeing Nora as a whole character. She didn't grow into her role and character growth was done at a snail's pace in the trilogy. The entire series was a setup to present Nora.
Awkward characters can be great MCs. Nora stayed super awkward. Then I finally get that she was sexually abused, and I end up disliking the whole series because the background layout for her is crap. I read a wide variety of books. This series is not a grimdark or horror but Nora's history would fit well in either genre.
The best parts of the series were the small elements that make up the world and added to the larger picture of the main plot arc.

Good ending to the arc
A fun read. Not a fan of the story telling style and I had to force myself through the beginning. Still enjoyed it as a whole and recommend it. Now on to the next Delvers llc.
