I don't have much to say about this book - I enjoyed it a lot and it was very good but despite having a fairly high stakes climax it felt a little anti-climactic for the end of the trilogy. I think this book was very good but not quite as good as the first two (mainly because of the ending). Everything is tidy-ish but it leaves a lot of questions as to what will happen next, which I understand some people like but I find a little unsatisfying. Ending aside though, this book was great. It was interesting to see Breq have some character development when throughout the series she has been a fairly static figure that has caused change in others.
