The Final Gambit: Jennifer Lynn Barnes (The Inheritance Games, 3)

Product Information

can't believe i'm saying goodbye to this universe...might start crying. hopefully in another life i'm born a hawthorne. Not putting in the effort to add complexity to the characters. It's not enough to just introduce a cast of morally grey characters and then... leave it at that. I loved the ambiguity of the Hawthornes when we first met them. Unfortunately, the only character who has a drop of depth in this book is Jameson. It's not enough for a character to be all ~mysterious~ with ~deadly cheekbones~. (I know, I can't believe I'm saying this when I've been thirsting over Grayson all this time. But those cheekbones need to be paired with some actual characterisation y'all.) i’m don’t generally consider myself a petty person but averygrayson isn’t endgame (and it doesn’t make any sense from any standpoint; the love triangle ruined the series for me) and grayson was done dirty, so i’m being generous and giving it two stars until i’m over it then i’ll actually rate it. AND NASH. idek when it happened but i just adored him so much in tfg i cannot believe i really said this in The Inheritance Games also grayson has a puppy now they’re so cute i love him so much. i bet his camera is filled w pictures of her now. i love gray so much i’m happy if he’s happy)

Jameson: Okay, I didn’t like Jameson in Book 1- like, at all- BUT he’s definitely grown on me since then. He’s no way near Grayson in terms of amazingness, but he’s still hot, okay??? 🤭🤭 Definitely an interesting character and he and Grayson compliment each other as brothers. Soooo, I still don’t love him, but I’m getting there. these 5 stars are for grayson and grayson only🤰if he wasn’t in this book…i would’ve given it 4 stars. i was gonna go right down the middle for my final rating and give it a 4.5, but i enjoyed this book WAY more than the first one and that one was 5 stars for me. so i had a very hard time with the rating. why am i like this? :DNash didn't care that I was eighteen, that I owned the House, that I wasn't actually his sister, or that I would put up one hell of a fight if he tried to stop me." I know a lot people found THL to be super boring and no plot progression whatsoever but honestly I absolutely adored everything in this book. This is the most invested I've been for a book in literally over 3 months. The mystery was so addicting and the tension !! I'm in love and now cannot stop thinking about this book so THANK YOU JLB <33 The plot was as good as the first book. With more secrets and riddles and plot twists I loved how every level of the mystery was slowly unraveled and how we actually had to travel to places this time to figure it all out. It was engaging and really fun to read. I admit the plot does add a lot without totally progressing, but it’s so fun I can’t help but love it. I hope the third book does have a clear finale type direction but either way I suspect I’ll enjoy it.

so when grayson said she was one of them, that they owed her protection, all i could think was that he'd once spoken similar words about me. est unus ex nobis. nos defendat eius" this is what you want! it's what you've always wanted. an arrogant, duty bound asshole who tries to be honorable and would die to protect the girl he loves. stop im gonna start crying if i think abt how im never gonna see these characters again. I GENUINELY LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH for me to shelve this book in my found family shelf😭. literally every main character i kid u not from all the hawthorne brothers to avery to max, thea, libby, alisa, bex, and EVEN oren omg i just love them. my heart's so fell. ALSO I HAD THIS DEEP GUT FEELING from the very beginning that eve was such a snake and the way she manipulated grayson- i hate her. Secrets upon secrets. Riddles upon riddles. In this game, there are hearts and lives at stake — and there is nothing more Hawthorne than winning. Summary [ ] The Brothers Hawthorne is a standalone title set following the events of the Inheritance Games series and will be published under the Penguin imprint in August 2023 alongside the US in a global English-language launch.The Hawthorne Legacy is the second installment in the hugely popular Inheritance Games series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Relying too much on the romance to hook the reader. By the end, I was just annoyed. It was clear that the love triangle was there to disguise the fact that nothing much really happens with the puzzles and plot. Do I still think that Avery and Grayson are endgame? Yes, and they'll be the only reason I read the final book (if I do). (Avery met Grayson first... so by love triangle logic this means they'll end up together lol.) To inherit billions, all Avery Kylie Grambs has to do is survive a few more weeks living in Hawthorne House. The paparazzi are dogging her every step. Financial pressures are building. Danger is a fact of life. And the only thing getting Avery through it all is the Hawthorne brothers. Her life is intertwined with theirs. She knows their secrets, and they know her. Allow me to let you in on a Hawthorne trade secret, Heiress: There are no rules that matter more than winning.” It’s been thrilling to see this reflected in Jen’s sales and the passionate global fandom around the series – that just continues to grow. Jen is a master storyteller, and in The Brothers Hawthorne the twists have never been twistier, the romance more compelling nor the stakes higher. We are so excited and proud to publish it next year and to have two more novels set in the world of the Inheritance Games to come after that.”
