This was definitely the most enjoyable of the trilogy. It felt anticlimactic and rushed, which is why I rated it the way I did, but I absolutely adored Andrew and Neil.

When I started this series I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, and now I'm actively crying happy tears over the ending. Nora is a wizard I think

Satisfaction. 

One word to sum up this whole book.

Andreil being endgame? Satisfaction. Nathan's death? Satisfaction. Foxes on vacay? Satisfaction. Jean out of the Nest? Satisfaction. Neil's deal with Ichirou? Satisfaction. Kevin stepping on court left-handed and with a new tattoo? Satisfaction. Andrew taking Exy seriously? Satisfaction. Foxes winning the NCAA championship? Satisfaction. Riko's arm broken? Satisfaction. Riko's death? Satisfaction. Satisfaction. Satisfaction.</spoilers>

I could go on and on about how exponentially the writing has improved, the beauty of circular endings, intricate and well-developed characters and such, but we're gonna be here for a super long time, then.
