I enjoyed the first two books of this series. I didn't think they were especially good, in a sense, but they were gripping and enjoyable.

This one flipped over to "ugh, no". I forced myself to finish it, but will not be looking out for the next installment. This series, like many others, has handled the need for escalation between volumes by increasing the scale and raising the stakes. We started off with one young woman's survival, and now we're dealing with world politics. But this simply isn't handled well.

Bleh.
