That being said, I really liked that these new books featured older characters that were not teenager. It's what I'm actually looking for in books these days, characters in their 20s/30s being friends and going on adventures together. So, I'm really glad I read this trilogy.
I just wish - and I can't believe I'm writing this - there was a little less timey wimey mess and a little more character bonding and development. It was only in this last book that I finally got attached to all these characters, and I just wish I had these feelings in the earlier books already.
The plot of this last book felt more logical to me. Most of the issues I had with the previous book, were resolved early on here. I understood the game, and motivations as well as revelations the characters had, were easier to follow. Plus, the historical events appealed more to me. Unfortunately, towards the end another timeline layer was added and again, this was a little too much for me.
I'm satisfied with the ending, though.
