As with the first two novels in the trilogy, this final book was solidly plotted and moved towards a satisfying ending. We follow Alice, AKA Iron, as she and a couple of unlikely allies try to find the murderous villain who's breaking all the rules (or would be, if there were any actual rules).

The prose was clear and easy to read, with only a few typos that caught my eye. As before, I enjoyed being immersed in the world the author has created, even if I definitely wouldn't want to live there. Given the previous setup, the events in this book weren't a huge surprise, although it was fun to see exactly how Alice and her diverse mates achieved their goals.

For me, this book didn't feel quite as strong as the previous two. Perhaps it's because Alice spends a lot of time feeling guilty about such a wide range of things: some justifiably, some less so. And yet, when she needs to set in motion a mad plan, or to have the cooperation of someone she (thinks she) has wronged, she never has a problem securing anyone's cooperation. It gave me the impression that her sense of guilt wasn't actually affecting anyone around her, and therefore the guilt felt not so significant.

A solid ending to an enjoyable superhero trilogy.
