DID NOT FINISH: 0%

I don't read Scalzi's books for these types of shenanigans.
It doesn't matter if you turn your main character into an immortal AI if she's still dead. I found it cheap, rushed, and unearned.

A good conclusion to this space opera. Kiva is brilliant as ever.

As the author himself said, finished in a hurry and so not a good close up.
But well, the first book was pretty good.

Loved it. Fun twists, a real page turner of a plot, and just a delightful end to the trilogy. I wish I could immediately pick up another book and dive right back into this world.

This took me way too long to get through - and for no good reason. There are a lot of twists and turns as the trilogy wraps up, many of them very satisfying and some less so. I feel like I still wanted more at the end, but that the ending was still good.
