The book was OK. I felt it a really slow read, often feeling I was slogging through the story. I also found, like the other two books in the series, there was a lot of repetition which didn't add to the story but added to the slog to get through the book. This booked picked up exactly where the second one finished and as much as the second one ended on a bit of a cliff hanger I think it could have benefited from just finishing at that point. I did like the one big revelation but felt that could have been built into earlier books and didn't need a whole book dedicated to it.
