This book should not exist. So little happens, so much is padded with meaningless blabbering.
There are dialogues with one line per page, filled with the authors, sometimes nonsensical, blabbering in between. It's a pity such an awesome series ends in such an unsatisfying way.
The explanations given are chaotic, illogical and just hand waved away.
The prose got to me at the end, in a bad way. The first 2 books were stuffed with so much awesomeness that the weird prose did not bother me too much but once you are left with not much story and just the prose, that is often hard to comprehend, it gets old quickly. Had to force myself to read through it.
Overall it was not a ‘bad' book, it just pales in comparison to the first two books which are masterpieces.

Still one of the best series I have read in the last years. Would recommend.
