The Final Gambit (The Inheritance Games, #3)

Spoiler alert!
Okay, hear me out.
I like the book for providing me with the remaining closure I needed.
I hated Eve and Grayson thing since the very beginning.
I wanted Grayson and Avery to be endgame because Grayson was the one who chose her from the very beginning and I cannot seem to get over it!! I HATE HOW THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE BOOKS!! There was a point where they could’ve ended together; an opening of sorts. It annoyed me that it was not the path pursued.
I hate what had become of Toby but I respect that. Once Vincent dies, no one can be a threat as big to Avery and the Hawthornes.
I didn’t know this but I think I wouldn’t have minded it being a “why choose�. Just saying. I MEAN WHO CHOOSES A GOLDEN RETRIEVER INSTEAD OF THE MORALLY GREY GUY WHO WOULD LITERALLY KILL TO KEEP YOU SAFE??!! Huh?! 😤
I did like the Zara-Avery dynamic though. And Thea and Rebecca, too.
Conclusively, I think this was not entirely required to be written if you weren’t going to change love interests after almost doing that. I’m sorry but romance was NOT a subplot here. Meh but even that was good to read. Kept me hooked the entire time. Henceforth, the rating.

"For someone who hated Eve coming in and Avery being with Jameson instead of Grayson and having found a closure in the second book itself, I sure am invested.
Glad I continued"
