Oliver Howard

As an end of a trilogy, this was mediocre at best. As an end of an arc, I think it was pretty decent. In my opinion, this one focused too much on action whereas the previous two only had a few big action set pieces. Because of that, this was my least favorite book in the series so far. I thought the characters remained good, but had a couple of weird choices. After 9 months of living in a box, why was Darrow the calm and collected one whereas Sevro was bloodthirsty and rash? I also really didn't like the end sequence because Darrow as the narrator literally lied to himself/audience to keep a plot twist secret. It definitely could have been done better where Brown doesn't break trust with his readers. It was still as readable as the previous two and I loved all of the Mustang scenes, but I definitely had some more issues with this book.
