Plodding plodding plodding and then WHOOOOSH suddenly the end of the Interdependency is upon us! I was gripped enough to need to know what happened next, but there's something about Scalzi's writing that sometimes makes his books feel... flat? Like fanfiction? I dunno. Anyway, this was fun.

I was worried that this book wasn’t long enough to wrap up the series, but there was no reason to doubt. A great finale to a great series.

Felt like it coasted on the inertia of the two earlier novels, which I enjoyed much more. In the author's Acknowledgments section he outright says he delayed finishing this book until the last moment, and it reads that way too I think.

A well done End to the trilogy.
