As the title says, this is more of a review of the whole series instead of just the last book.
I enjoyed the first book, but the further it went on, the more it seemed to devolve (pun intended) into a video game. Cartoonish villians commiting evil because of pride, protagonists solving everything through action, super-heteronormative relationships, antiquated gender roles. The list goes on.
There's a lot of redeeming qualities, but the character drama seemed extremely forced, like every situation existed only to exploit or create social dynamics.
