There was just too much going on. Too many side stories and too much drama that is all handled way too easily. So easy that these dangerous and life threatening situations don't feel as authentic as they have before. Plus, I didn't really feel any connection to the new main characters introduced and found their "reconnection" a little laughable considering all the war happening around them. 
Did I still enjoy this? Yes. I also wish that it had a better ending. I would have liked to see more of the court transcripts from the tribunal against BeiTech and I would have liked a different conclusion for AIDAN. Still a solid story, I think I just had higher expectations because I adore the first two books in this series.

 Another book in the series, another new couple to get to know.

Unlike most series, the last book was my least favorite in this series and the 2nd book was my favorite. I know that I am in the minority on this opinion.

Asha and Rhys were a couple on Earth, but they got into a lot of trouble and were separated. Asha went to Kerenza IV and Rhys was sent to the BeiTech military. When they meet up again in the middle of this war sparks don't fly. Asha wants nothing to do with him and is just trying to help underground insurgency escape.

When Rhys sees Asha he is shooketh. He doesn't know how to feel and isn't sure why she's so upset. Then while on a regular patrol he witnesses one of the commanders shoot a little kid for being out after curfew trying to find food. Rhys cannot live with killing children for no reason. Then he finds out they eliminated anyone that wasn't essential, a little over 2,000 people. He begins to question everything he has been told.

At the same time we still have the ship Mao coming to assist. Kady & Ezra, Hannah & Nik, Ella, and of course AIDAN are on the way to save the day. Hannah is struggling with her grief, which was nice to see some reality added to the story.
