Not my favorite in the series. The ending felt rushed while the middle felt so drawn out. I wish it had developed different although I do like how things ended. The main conflict of the book was quite more mudane that what I first assumed from minor details dropped throughout the series. Overall, the first book in the series is my favorite where the two following fall flat by trying to do or say too much at once. Wish I had gotten more context on the button box and the world origins/species origins than what I was given in the final book.
