A phenomenal book with an ending I’ll be thinking about for a long time, and which was so completely worth the whole year it took me to read this series. Lowkey a little speechless that the journey is finally complete!

Instead of giving my dissertation on why I hated this book, I'll simply bring up that while the savior of the human race was being burned alive, all the main character thought was "her beautiful breasts are being destroyed!" and that pretty much sums it up.

This book was a lot! I loved the first two in this series so much, but these last two did not live up to their promise. This book should be three separate books since so much happens and each of the three major sections has a different tone to them. The book is amazing in scope and imagination and the idea of growing a biosphere in spacae is very intriguiging concept. What I found disappointing was how this book does not further explain the key concepts of the first two books, such as the human deity at war with the AI god and the search for empathy through time. Instead he re-writes some of the ideas or completely ignores those he did not want to explain further. I do like the concept of the void which binds but the ability to travel through space at a moment's notice seems completely implausible. I love this series and I did enjoy this book, it just needed some strong editing or made into three separate books.

Weakest of the 4 books in the series. The author should have edited some of the sections that went on far too long and the relationship descriptions for Aenea and Raul were pretty hokey.
