A great read, finished the series of really well. Much better than the second book. The diversion into the nature of "zero" was really interesting.

ATY 2019 25. 4 books inspired by the wedding rhyme: Book #3 Something Borrowed (It was a Libby Overdrive book.)

Just barely 3 stars. That third one was eked out at the end. More thoughts later maybe.

This story was epic and longest I have ever read. It was amazing. Don't want to give anything away....so worth the time.

A solid end to the series. I would recommend this to people who like a realistic setting and world that still has fantasy/science fiction elements to it. Good end to a good series.

Écoutez, j'ai bien aimé, mais BEAUCOUP moins que les deux premiers tomes de la série. 
C'était long, un retour dans le passé de bien 100 ou 200 pages par exemple, c'est trop. Ça reste bien émotionnel tout ça, j'ai été bien émue à divers moments du livre, et l'écriture reste spectaculaire, mais je trouve qu'on en a perdu.

Great conclusion to the trilogy. The best part was the monologue of a new POV that lasts for a big chunk of the book. Unfortunately it suffers in the last few chapters by getting a bit ‘action movie’ tropey

I had difficulty recalling all of the characters due to the delayed publication dates, but I thoroughly enjoyed this final book of the trilogy.
