I'm sad that this will only be a trilogy, but, it certainly went out with a bang.

Kim is in Berlin under the guise of being an official's wife. Let's just say, that lasts all of 5 seconds. The story is quickly paced, and a tad predictable. There weren't really any loose ends that we're tied up. I definitely plan on buying this series of books so I can read them again.

I wouldn't mind seeing more books about people with talents, perhaps set a little further into the future, or in the past.

Good conclusion to the M. Night Shyamalan trilogy that started with Unbreakable and included Split.

A strong performance for Bruce Willis. James McAvoy revolutionized him self as an actor for this role (between the two movies he starred in) and Samuel L. Jackson was his usual awesome. Vera Famiga was great in her role as well.

Story culminated with a definitive conclusion (not always a given with Shyamalan) that actually had an unsettling nature to it. I highly recommend watching all three movies if you are going to watch Glass.

Unpopular Opinion alert: I was so close to giving this three stars, I was literally about 75% of the way through this before I even remotely cared about anything that was going on and I was close to dnf-ing numerous times but it sort of redeemed itself enough at the end for me to boost it <i>just</i> into the four-star realm... I think. Maybe because I hadn't read the Grisha trilogy prior to this it hindered my enjoyment a bit but I'll probably read the next book anyway.
