Extremely sad that this is Thurston's last book in the universe. He has such a great way of communicating how clan culture is psychotic and pragmatic at the same time.

Twilight of the Clans 8

A good read, although it seems somewhat out of place as book 8 in the series.
Most of the action follows on from Freebirth (book 4), picking up on the mission that was given to Joanna of the Jade Falcons.

The majority of the book doesn't have any impact on (or get impacted by) the rest of the series. The second half is set after the defeat of the Smoke Jaguars by Taskforce Serpent, so may be why this novel was placed at the end.

The battles, especially in the second half are done well and there are some tense moments.
