This was the perfect conclusion to a thrilling, tense, high-stakes trilogy. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you're a lover of tension, action and insanely high-stakes with not much of a breath in between, The Illuminae Files is an instant recommendation.
It's been a while between me finishing this book and actually writing this review, but all I really have to say is: READ THE SERIES. Even if the first two books were a lot to get through, this finale makes it more than worth it.
February 26th, 2024 - February 29th, 2024.
"Live a life worth dying for."
βThe die is cast. But today we will shake the table upon which it lands.β
βI have heard it said
that evil is simply a point of view.
The villain is always the hero in his own story.
And the definitions of "wrong" and "right"
ever shift on the inconstant tides
of human morality.
But can such measures even be said to apply to me?
I am clarity.
I am necessity.
I am inevitability.
But am I evil?β

This was another absolute emotional roller coaster of a book. It was an epic journey.
I loved the characters (expect Ben Garver, he was an asshole 90% of the time), the story, simply everything about this book and this series. It was so well crafted.
Simply put: this was amazing and I loved it.

We continue to watch Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik as they fight to survive and also take on BeiTech for all the atrocities they have committed. This time they race toward Cerenza IV to rescue survivors from the original attack on the colony.
Without a scary virus or alien like creature as part of the enemy they are fighting, this books struggles and fights felt much more real and current. There is no light way to describe genocide that has been committed by the BeiTech forces.
While difficult to read, this was a satisfying end to the series. I would say that some of the twists and turns were too common to the last two books which made this my least favorite book of the series.
