The final chapter in the Indranian War trilogy, K.B. Wagers sticks the landing. The book itself probably is a 4, with some slight pacing issues as we approach Hail's plan for retaking her planet and finally confronting Wilson after all that he's done, but the ending of the series was so strong that I'm bumping the score up to 5 for that. Wagers made me care so much about these fictional characters that a certain death scene (obviously not saying who. There are many characters in this book and I cared about all of them so have fun guessing) made me tear up at my desk while I was listening to it.
The series ends in a very satisfying way, and I am intrigued about what is going to happen during her next series, about the Farian race.

Excellent
Great read. Gulped it down in one fast read, and enjoyed every second of that. Brilliant end to an excellent space opera.

The series wraps up nicely, lots of action. There will be more adventures in this universe, and I'm curious to see where she takes these characters.

Fun! I enjoyed the adventure, but had to willfully not to think too hard in spots.
I have a similar criticism with this book as the 3rd Hunger Games book. The action is great, but the motivations kind of don't make any sense. The emotional reactions / breakdowns are kind of repetitive. The foreshadowing was heavy handed.

Also, for someone who prides herself in reading people. Turns out, Hail is kinda shitty at reading people.majkia's review against another edition

Last book of the Indranan War trilogy.
What a fun, fun series. Love the characters, lots of action, exotic world-building, with palace intrigue and political brinksmanship.
Looking forward to the new books she's writing. Bring the gunrunner back!

This book, actually this series is PHENOMENAL. I listened to all 3 in audiobook format and I feel it really created a necessary extra dimension that brought the diversity of characters to life. I picked it up because this is the first science fiction novel I've ever seen that features not only a matriarchal society but a Hindu(ish) one at that! It was like I wrote the damn thing. Realistic world building, clever politics, twists that are believable but still shock you, and a heroine that makes a damn fine Empress despite all her protests.

An EPIC conclusion to this thrilling series. Wall-to-wall reading, I HAD to know what was going to happen next, and was grateful for a day in bed after a bit of heat stroke.
I was elated to discover that the story did not end with this, as I cannot get enough of this author's incredibly talented writing!

Reading the three books in back to back to back order didn't do them any favors. The characters mannerisms get to be too repetitive and the stakes less real. Overall a good series just felt like the end dragged on too long.

Great end to the series. Some of the writing was a little repetitive, but I enjoyed how the plot points were wrapped up :)
