Dinged for the whinny FMC. 
You’d think after 3 books there’d be some character growth in that department. But I guess inter dimensional problems might make one a little weary and whinny. 

Regardless, I loved this whole series. Such a unique premise and a set of characters I’m not likely to forget soon. 

I don’t like love triangles, and that was a little disappointing, but with the way this story is set up and told, it didn’t have the traditional love triangle approach. 

World building was *chef’s kiss* and the characters were written with multilayer elements. If you like YA and/or Sci-fi give it a go.
