After discovering the Ancients are planning to come back and take over, Loch and the gang has to band up again to save the Republic and the lives of everyone living in the world.
Devastated to finish this series, but what a conclusion! This series has definitely become one of my favourites and I cannot believe it's not more well-known. The characters have got a special place in my heart and I definitely look forward to re-reading these books in the future.
There were a few moments that kept me on my toes, especially.
Overall, a great conclusion to a brilliant funny well-written series!

when Hessler 'died'. It broke my heart and Tern's reaction and grieving really tore me up. I liked that the 'death' of Hessler made way for more character development, especially with Icy. Icy is probably one of my least favourite characters, because he always seems to be in the background. So it was interesting to see him talk about his backstory and his hardships, which led to him taking his oathOverall, a great conclusion to a brilliant funny well-written series!

"the way your mother keeps going back to your father even though she knows that i'm better between the sheets." (one character has a penchant for 'your mother' insults)
"their minds are not broken yet. we might not have to strip them and peel their skin off while reciting the names of everyone they have ever had sex with and telling them what that person was really thinking about at the time."
"rockslide-victim-says-what?"
"what?" (intentional rockslide occurs)
"she prayed, and it was not a faithful prayer of supplication but a damn you all, you owe me kind of prayer, the kind that comes before bargaining and tears, and a small desperate please."
"nobody wants to say no to someone who's cheerfulling at them."
"i go by kail, its shorter, easier for your mother to shout over and over again."
"i go by slant, ever since i left your mother walking crooked."
"your mother doesn't talk this much. of course, usually her mouth is f--"
"what the hell are you going to do with that useless little thing?"
"thats what your mother said."
"love is easy. need though. need feels like weakness. need means you're not all right without someone else." (why its easier to admit you love someone than it is to admit you need them)

I kind of loved it. This trilogy was a delightful romp. There was action and adventure and romance. It would make a wonderful movie series or you could take Locke and her crew and give them a tv series where they would have a new set of adventures every week.

I loved this book. It has all the hilarious gimmicks, unique characters and fast action I've come to expect from the series but it built upon those to make it even better. It's like the grown-up version of the first two books. It has great character development, unexpected plot-twists and a lot of heart. I loved the romance, the friendships and all the heartache I got from watching them all get tested here.

Would probably have given it a 4 stars if it wasn't for the little hiatus i had with it which caused me to lose the plot a bit...

Very entertaining bus book. It hits a lot of very positive bingo fields (racial diversity, cultural diversity, sexual diversity, privilege, racism, speciecism), deals well with mental-health issues that a lot of books get wrong (while I've a couple of very warlike Fantasy novels, I think that this is the first one who really goes into veteran's mental health issues in any depths). So, thoroughly recommended, way deaper than anticipated!

My only gripe is that almost everyone is paired off.

Perhaps I will come back someday and make a more coherent review. Instead, I shall sit here and shriek like the fangirl I am about how absolutely fantastic the third installment of Weekes' trilogy (but, Mr. Weekes don't feel like you have to leave it at a trilogy, please never stop). I simply cannot recommend these books more, they are such a breath of fresh air, filled with creativity and charm and humor, in a genre that is stagnant beyond belief most of the time.
