3.5*
I get the impression that the editorial team asked Ahmed to finish his run because it was starting to get too long, which is true. And so it wraps up in four issues, which isn't even a standard TPB.
Nevertheless, Ahmed does a pretty good job. The resolution of the sin of Pride is surprisingly simple but effective, and that of Wrath is rather devious. Ahmed pushes Matt to his limits when it comes to making choices, and the one he makes will undoubtedly have consequences later on. On that point, hats off to him.
In retrospect, one wonders if Ahmed couldn’t have handled the entire arc in this manner, cutting out a good third of it but gaining in effectiveness. The answer is in the question.
Apparently, two issues of Laura Kinney: Wolverine will be included in the TPB to fill the last third. Basically, the story is weak and Laura and Elektra are out of character, but their relationship in this context works quite well. However, this does not bode well for the series (but that is not the subject of this review).

final two Sins are still loose...
Wrath, possessing an orphan who blames Daredevil for everything
Pride, taken over the body of Foggy Nelson
Matt's left with multiple 'impossible' problems. The orphanage is being threatened with closure. Wrath is still carving a bloody swath through Hell's Kitchen. Even Bullseye loses an arm...
At least there's still Elektra to lean on....oh...oh wait..yea, that's another burnt bridge.
======
Bonus: Saying you're sorry could have, arguably, erased this whole arc.
Bonus: Giant-Size Daredevil #1 should have been the filler here. Kingpin's perspective with Greed attached would have been a fresh take.
