I was not expecting this story to go where it went. That was super intense and disturbing!

Is it just me, or has this series gotten worse as it progressed?
Throughout the third installment I was just...indifferent. There was nothing new that book 3 added other than bringing in a new character

that the readers would know is a red-herring.

So many things to 'ugh' about:
-Jazz being surprisingly stupid on multiple occasions as if he's making up for being so rational in the previous books.
-The plot twist that was wearing neon clothes on a clear day.
-The entire 'protagonist against the antagonist in an epic battle that's been due for ages' is a trope that should be left six feet under, esp for this series, because it's filthy predictable.
-The number of times stuff from the previous books was repeated that made me go 'get to the point already!'

Luring Connie ended up being pointless (wait, wasn't that angle a major chunk of book 2? Yes, yes it was. And it's pointless so...Book 2 need not have existed?

This series went downhill for me, and although this book was better than the second, it just couldn’t redeem the series as a whole. The first book should have been a stand alone. This book was way longer then it needed to be.

Brilliant series. Brilliant ending. Few characters stand out like Jasper Dent.

Før jeg læste denne bog havde jeg selfølgelig læst de 2 foregående, men også de senere publiserede prequels. Og efter at have læst dem for denne sidste bog i serien aldrig rigtigt fanget mig. Jeg synes der er mange ting som allerede bliver afsløret i prequelsne som gør at denne bogs plottwists og handling er langtrukken. For eksempel kommer det ikke bag på en at Grimme J er Jazzes mor, og tanten er uskyldig.

Herudover påtager Jazz sig igen hele ansvaret og forsøger at løse div. problematikker på egen hånd, hvilket som sædvanlig for ham ud i problemer, og evt bringer hans kærer i fare. Selv i bogens slutning når alt er overstået hører vi mere om hvordan Jazz bebrejder sig selv, på trods af at han ved dette var noget af det som bragte ham på dybt vand i starten. Det er naturligvis ikke underligt, at han gør det, men det virker desværre langtrukkent og har for meget fylde i denne historie

A great finish to a great trilogy. Charlie Thurston does such an amazing job narrating. There were a few things that were a bit pat but overall I loved this one more even than the other two.
