LOVED the conclusion to this trilogy! This was the first book where I felt like I was more invested in the past storyline than the present one. I sort of knew exactly what was going to happen in the present, until the very end, and there wasn't as much plot as I was expecting. Carey's past storyline, on the other hand, was really powerful and moving, and made me really understand the character and how he had gotten where he was. Very well done! It was also less gruesome than the second book, which I appreciated.
