Review: It's finally over!

I made myself read this last book in the trilogy, even though I didn't care too much for any of the characters by the end of book two (Taken). I will say that I was pleasantly surprised that they redeemed themselves somewhat so that I was able to at least care about what happened in the story.There were still a few things that irked me, such as a thread that seemed to serve no purpose in the book (the whole misunderstanding about Channie being pregnant by several people), and sometimes things seemed to be too neatly solved (like the whole scenario of Channie accepting the excuse that Hunter was a double agent and part of her "kidnapping" by Vince, for example).I also think the story structure was odd.  There seemed to be two major climaxes in this book and it would have been much better if those could have coincided or the first one maybe resolved in book two. I don't know. It just made me feel like the book was dragging after the first climax, even though the magic and what Josh could accomplish was fun and interesting and the last showdown was great.Overall, I'm glad I finished the series, but I probably wouldn't have started it to begin with if I had known what I was getting into.P.S.  These books don't stand alone, so woe is you if you just picked this up without reading the first two.
