Really strong conclusion. It left me wanting more, but I believe this could keep going for a long time!

(Read in single issues). I feel like this series never quite lived up to the "murder mystery under water" premise, but it did get more exciting toward the end and ended mostly satisfyingly.

This is where Kindt shines. The worlds he is allowed to create and live in are a gift to us all. I do feel like perhaps he rushed the final volume here because we got a lot of explanation in a few pages and it feels a little off for a series that was otherwise very slowly paced (and perfectly so). The incredible thing is just how much I want to go back and live in this world some more. What a delight.

2.5 Stars. I felt like the ending was just poor. We found some answers, but not to everything and it was just so up in the air. Many I'm sure will like it, but what really drove me to keep reading this series was the mystery and what was going to happen to the people in Dept. H. But it felt like half of this book didn't deal with that.

I appreciate the resolution. I like how it leaves the reader with some unanswered questions about Mia and her choices and the future. But the resolution in this volume came swiftly and at times felt unsupported. The mystery was under-developed and it will leave the reader without any possibility (or feeling like there wasn't any possibility) of figuring it out the "mystery" on their own.

A gratifying ending to an odd, meandering, and sometimes beautiful series

Decent ending to a slow mystery. The whodunit aspect isn't bad, nor too obvious. The art in this volume is particularly good, starting with the cool, shadow-layered, blue cover. I began reading Mind Mgmt (Kindt's other series) right after I finished this, and realized that I was burnt out on Kindt and put it down. Not that this series was bad, it was just a bit tiring. However, as you can see by my rating, I enjoyed it and recommend it.
