Absolutely amazing. I rated the first two books four stars, but really – five stars for this epic series, and five stars for this conclusion which may well be my favourite book of the three. One of the best space opera series I’ve read in a long time, this series has so much I love: a wide range of alien species (including many who are not even close to humanoid), some diverse representation, epic space battles (so many space battles in this book!), a mysterious and terrifying enemy, high stakes, and a lot of fun, including a real sense of humour. A solid, satisfying conclusion to a fantastic series – highly recommend.
Like the first book, this one also includes indexes of characters, worlds, species, and ships, and a timeline; additionally, the book begins with a very brief "The Story So Far” – this is absolutely the kind of series where these inclusions are vital, particularly if you’re not reading the series all in one go.
Thank you Orbit Books & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this title.
