I think a bullshit way to end a ship is to turn one member of it into a potential r*pist. That scene was completely unnecessary and took me out of the story for a few days. This book all around was very disappointing.

 I enjoyed this more than the first two books, and holy crap the last 1/4 of the book! So much action, and some things I really didn't like, especially how one character is kind of just forgotten by the author. But I did find some of the more annoying/less-likable characters more tolerable and even likable in this book.
