This was a mostly satisfying end to the series. It felt short and rushed, which was a disappointment. And I wish the big, bad hadn't been someone we'd never met or someone that at least had been hinted at through several books. In my mind I expected several different people to be revealed as the villain throughout the read that fit better as the final boss level so I was disappointed by the introduction of someone brand new (Kadrey wrote in such a manner as to hint that what we saw wasn't what the villain was and that it was someone familiar).
I look forward to reading more of Kadrey's work in the future, though. Because his books are never boring!

I have loved this dark and twisted misery of a series since it started with a secondhand find for me. It is a wreck to the system, but one that feels excellent, like hard liquor.
Graphic: Body horror, Gun violence, Self harm, Suicide, Torture, Violence, Blood, Vomit, Police brutality, Medical content, Medical trauma, Suicide attempt, Murder, Toxic friendship, Alcohol, Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Death, Drug abuse, Genocide, Toxic relationship, Violence, Blood, Grief, Cannibalism, Car accident, Abandonment
This book is seven shades of mess, but has a bloody beating heart at it's core.

It's a strange feeling that I know that there will be no more Sandman Slim books. And it's a strange book ending the saga. It becomes clear that after the familiar atmosphere of the first half of the book, the second half becomes more or less a preparation for a final goodbye. For Stark and for the reader also. So in a way, it was hard for me to get through the second half, knowing the inevitable end is closing in. Still, it is a thoroughbred Sandman Slim story, a real page-turner, high-octane action, and sarcastic conversations included. I mourn a little bit but also I am happy that I was part of the ride.
