Personally I found this better than the second book in the trilogy but worse than The Henna Artist. The Henna Artist captured me so strongly and I adored Lakshmi's story. I think this is a satisfying ending to everyone's stories but it did drag quite a bit for thr last hour of the audiobook. If you're on the fence about continuing after reading the second book I recommend at least trying this one out, I think it was worth my time.
