A solid ending of the trilogy. Not as captivating as the first two installments but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
For my taste it was a tad too much of everything except plot. It could have easily been 100 pages shorter by cutting out some of the spicy scenes. I’m in for smutty parts but not being able to read more than 3 pages without something explicit happening or someone getting horny gets .. tedious. Especially because it felt as it had to top the first two books, which were already quite untoppable.
And as much as I liked the multiple POV, I continuously got lost who’s POV I was reading. They all felt pretty similar and often just repeat the story from a different angle than adding real new to it.
