The Final Gambit

NOOOOOOOO Toby sacrificed himself for Avery are you serious rn 😭😭😭😭😭 AVERY YOU JUST GAVE AWAY $28,000,000,000 to charity you whaaaaaaaaa—

Could not put it down and the author did a great job writing this book and the whole series

Peut être pas me meilleur de ma trilogie mais un bon livre

An end of an era. Avery has now spent a full year at hawethorne house, inherited 46.2 billion dollars, and all at the ripe age of 18. This book was a wonderful end to the trilogy. I am nervous about reading the rest of the series without have Avery as the main charcter. But she's there, just behind the scenes. As I read about the rest of tje characters I hope that I still get to see Averys brilliance. She is an icon for smart brunettes.

6 stars

4 starsIt was a really good book but I def don't recommend taking MONTHS in between books bc I did that (not on purpose) and did not remember a single thing from book 2. So I was confused up until probably 70% in. 😭 still loved it but it was giving 'I picked up book 3 first' even though I did in fact read the first 2. Thats my fault tho so thats nothing bad abt the book.Its currently 1 am so im not going into detail but this ate so hard. I love avery. I love xander and the ending with him working with his dad brought me so much joy 🥹. Im so excited to get to the grandest game tho i need more grayson content and from what ive seen im almost 90% sure he has a love interest in that series. 😛😛 hell yeah

I really enjoyed this series but I prefer it as a trilogy. I also kind of wanted Toby to be Avery's dad and was disappointed when he wasn't.

Si vas a hacer que la protagonista escoja al peor hermano como pareja, al menos dame un buen final para el único que vale la pena en ese triángulo amoroso mal construido, aburrido, donde se nota desde la página 1 el favoritismo de la autora. ni para eso sirve.

Qcy lo deje al 70% y me fue imposible retomar un tiempo despues

This book is amazing!!!

I've been waiting for so long to read this book just because I wanted it in paperback and I didn't want to read the audiobook and then buy the paper book cuz then it was just going to be a waste of my money. So I waited 2 years to get the paperback book of this book and I read it and there are so many points in times where I was slightly confused cuz I like I waited 2 years so I was slightly confused on who was who and everything like that. But the story was absolutely amazing. I love the plot. I love the characters. I'm still here for Jameson and Avery like all time. I think this story is amazing and the fact that there is another book now and it didn't just end with that. I'm so happy like it was supposed to. I'm so so happy and the fact that there's also another book coming and getting released this year in 2024. So the fifth installment? And yes you best to believe I'll be waiting for the fourth book to be in paperback so I can get that book and read that book and I will wait and wait for however long it takes for the paperback to come out.

How can a human think of soooo many puzzles and riddles? It was an intense book. gives me the same chill as when I look at the BBC Serie Sherlock. I love the writing style and the depth of the characters. I had a tough time deciding if I preferred Grayson over Jameson, but in the end, I liked Jameson more than Grayson

So, I’ve finally finished The Final Gambit, the last book in The Inheritance Games series, and… yeah, it was underwhelming. The whole series had potential, but this final book just proved that it never really lived up to it.This book, like the others, is fast-paced and easy to read. After the halfway mark, it became more interesting than the first two books, and there were a few twists that kept me engaged. The puzzles were a little more creative this time (finally, some variety). The romance was also slightly better, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been reading all three books back to back and got used to it.But there are a lot of issues. The characters still feel flat and underdeveloped, which made emotional moments fall flat too. The mystery and revelations were mostly predictable. I guessed almost everything before it happened, and when the “big reveals” came, they didn’t feel earned. The family dynamics were all over the place—one moment, something feels important, and the next, it’s brushed aside like it never mattered. No consistency.The convenience in the puzzles and mysteries was frustrating. Everything was just handed to the characters with minimal effort. Speaking of convenience—how many secret doors does this mansion even have?! Every time something needed to be found, a new secret passageway magically appeared. It became a joke at some point. The ending was the biggest letdown. No tension, no real stakes, no struggle. Everything was just smooth sailing, which made the conclusion feel completely underwhelming.One of my biggest issues with this whole series is that Avery never truly struggles. Everything works out for her way too easily, which makes the story feel lifeless. The author also spoon-feeds the reader every little detail, as if we’re not capable of figuring things out on our own.If you’re looking for a light mystery-thriller with a sprinkle of romance, then you might enjoy this. It’s fast-paced, easy to read, and not boring—just don’t expect anything deep, clever, or emotionally gripping. If you’re okay with predictable mysteries, generic characters, and a lack of real stakes, then go for it. But if you want something that truly challenges you or makes you feel something? This series probably isn’t for you.

Loved the book a lot

4.5 but hey - the only reason it isn’t perfection is because I really wanted Toby to be there for Avery… but all things considered it’s still a damn good story
