Did the author just get sick of her own story somewhere along the way and decide to make us all suffer with her by making it very cringey and full of plotholes?

I had heard of hate-watching, but hate-reading is a whole new level of self-harm
Please I just want it to be over

"Me choosing to save you led to the end of the world and the death and abuse of so many people, including probably my family, but I really love you (even tho I met you, like, yesterday) so I would totally do it again even if I'm supposed to be a hero 😊"
Yah totally believable

Honestly up until the beginning of this third book there was so much potential to adress all the questions and inconsistencies, give more depth to the characters and their relationships, so that ultimately the whole trilogy would make sense and be great... but instead we just get more inconsistencies, more questions, a whole lot of confusion, and just weird vibes overall 😩
