Numbers Raging (Numbers Game, Book 3) by Rebecca Rode

The series had a really good first book, then kind of went down hill from there. The second was very forgettable, literally, I honestly don't remember what happened in the second book. When it came to the third book, I really just read it out of principle, to finish the series.

75% of the book is spent building up to a war that was ultimately a little lackluster. Don't get me wrong, a lot happens during that war. There's gun fights, fighter jets, lots of people dying, sinister plots of assassination, and an intriguing battle among 3 different factions. A lots happening, and there's no lack of compelling scenarios. But the writing style is what brings it down. It's not as “visual” as I feel it could be, and seemed to have a very uneven pacing. Also, going back and forth between characters didn't really add to the readers insight, as it seems it should have, but rather only added to awkward pacing and (for me at least) made things a little hard to follow in the midst of everything else going on.

Ultimately, it's not a bad conclusion to the trilogy. It just went a little downhill.
