It Finally Ends

While a successful conclusion to the story, this book dragged the story out way too long. Does it wrap things up? Yes. Is the writing competent and clever in places, yes. Unfortunately, this book repeats things the reader has known too many times, even within this book, making it feel a bit like filler. The characterizations are consistent but there are a few convenient coincidences to resolve the "how will they get out of it this time?" scenarios. Is the eventual conclusion satisfying? Yes. But it is a pain to get there. The battle scenes are handled adeptly, the timeline makes sense, but the pacing is painful more than once. This made me want to get to the end of the book more than enjoy the book as a whole. It is worth reading to see the way things end up? Yes. And there's definitely room for continuation (which the author has hinted at). The narrator did an excellent job on the audiobook.
