Trigger warnings: body horror, violence, gore, kidnapping, death of a sibling

Sigh. I maintain that this series did NOT need to be a trilogy. Don't get me wrong, it was a satisfying conclusion to the series and I'm glad I read it through to the end. But at the same time, I definitely don't think this series needed to be FIFTEEN HUNDRED PAGES of human-tapeworm weirdness. 

Look, this was pretty full of action and it definitely kept me guessing as far as how things were going to play out. But at the same time, reading this was just sort of an exhausting experience because it was long and I'd run out of care factor at least 250 pages before this book started...
