Edit: so I caved because I'm in a reading slump and I need something where I already understand the worldbuilding. 

This was fine. It definitely hasnt ruined anything for me but I just found this to be such average conclusion to such a lovely first book. It should've been a standalone with an ambiguous ending for certain.

After reading reviews and listening to about 6 chapters of this, I've decided not to finish it. 

Girls with sharp sticks was such a chilling, smart and above all, SUBTLE, book. The second book in the series lacked a lot of that subtlety but I persevered and enjoyed it fine. however this one is even more on the nose and most reviews say that it gets worse, and boring to boot. 

I don't want to end this series on a sour note, so I'm going to just leave this one and pretend it was a duology.

The girls make their final stand in this third and final novel in the thrilling, subversive near-future series from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young about a girls-only private school that is far more than it appears to be. There is no one who can save your rebel soul… The girls of Innovations Academy escaped the confines of their unethical school, fought against the system protecting predators who targeted girls for harassment, and they’re not done yet. They’re still not free. Reeling from one revelation after the next, Mena and her friends begin to unwind the truth of their existence and, as a result, their destiny. The men from Innovations Corporation still hunt them, the woman who created them still wants control over them, and worst of all, Mena realizes that through all her pain, all her tears, the world of men has not changed. There is no more time to hope for the best. The girls know they are in a battle for their lives, a war for their very existence. The girls of Innovations Academy have sharpened their sticks to fight back, they have fought for justice with blood from their razor hearts. And now, the girls will choose their true nature...and how they define their rebel souls.
