As I liked the timeline wars books, the flaws in the premise were beginning to get hard to ignore.
So this is a fitting conclusion to the series. A little lighter on the shoot-em-up (for good, character-psychology reasons) and heavier on the "so this is life, huh?" philosophical moments. Maybe it was just my life when I read the book, but I appreciated the many times when the characters have to shrug and say "welp, that didn't work." There's an especially good scene on a hot air balloon. I would have liked a bit more gee-whiz technology, though.

Barnes finally hits his stride in the concluding book of the trilogy with a detailed imagining of an alternate Caesar and an early introduction of powerful technologies that have dramatic effects on the people and cultures in this timeline.
