The last book of the trilogy is sadly a bit weak. Mostly because the revelations aren't implemented well and the antagonists sadly fall pretty flat. (I also wasn't the biggest fan of how the politics are rather regressive, making angry and violent protesters out to be bad protesters that are just enticed by an evil master mind)
I still like the world and the characters though, and the themes of found family resonate with me.
