They didn’t even bother trying to adapt the third book more than loosely. I’ve never read them but my wife did and she felt that the whole theme of “Quentin isn’t the protagonist of the world, he’s just the point of view character” was much worse than just showing him as a character in an ensemble cast who struggles with main character syndrome. She also felt Grossman did Julia dirty with how she handled the aftermath of her rape.
