That's it, the Classic BattleTech storyline is now read. So many things remain(ed) incomplete :/ What about the WoB freaks? And everyone else? I WANTED TO KNOW!
I've never been a huge fan of Coleman's style with all the religious crap, though B.L. Pardoe was even worse... almost unreadably so. Bah! And while I'm at it: Coleman's depiction of the Wolves in Exile was a bit boring, very unClanlike in general. Then again, only Stackpole has written those damn Wolves in a tolerable manner, so I guess I'll just keep complaining. There's only one Blood of Kerensky -trilogy and this one isn't it.
Endgame itself went pretty quickly. The endless fights were mostly skimmed, parts were explained here and there but that's most likely because of the scale. Somehow I'd enjoyed a bit more of the political backstabbage, not to mention some more details of the Assassin's "adventures".
Oh, and was a bit sappy but not overexplained, so I can't complain much I guess :)

Really good ending to the classic Battletech series of novels, wrapping up the civil war arc.
Plenty of 'mech action, a lot of characters you've come to know over the series, and a slight twist at the end.
If you've read others in the series, you'll have a good idea of how it's going to end.
While there is a load of 'mech action, concentrating on the people involved, one of the other main characters spends no time in a 'mech, and thus seems to be overlooked or just thrown into the odd chapter as padding. No real insights to their thoughts as the war reaches its conclusion.
Overall, a good read, let down by a few spelling errors, or lack of proofreading, but not really a standalone novel.
