Power Unbound

I loved the first book in this series, and liked the second well enough, but the final book in the trilogy has descended to just fine.

Overall, I think my main issues with it fall into two areas. First, the insistence on heavily featuring the couples from the previous books leaves much less time to focus on Alan and Jack's relationship, and I think that's to its detriment. The romance felt sectioned off and rather rushed.

Second, the book's plot is constantly throwing very dramatic events out that have little build-up and no lasting consequences. It feels like a series of fake tension bubbles that immediately burst. It's also a fairly reactive plot, with a lot of waiting.
