Maybe no one was a hero. Maybe I’d gotten it wrong from the beginning, maybe there were only heroic momenta and decisions and we all had to keep choosing those as best we could.

An enjoyable action packed ending to the trilogy.

This third book was probably the weakest of the three however but it was wrapping up lose ends I guess… although perhaps it could of been done with a longer second book really.

I was satisfied with what eventuated and it would of even been better if the last chapter with Lin and Jovis didn’t happen (I’m not a total fan of everyone with happy endings).

All in all a great series with interesting ideas.

Thank you Net Galley and Orbit Books for this eCopy to review

I found this book quite slow, it takes a while to get going. All the characters are separated and travelling all over the place so it is quite confusing and very repetitive. The last battle for the future of the Empire is very good but such a shame that the final book in the trilogy does not live up to the first 2

There were not many new elements, or surprises just a lot of introspection and internal dialogue, which is what makes the plot very slow. I think some of the characters POVs were just forgotten, having theirs (EG: Jovis') at the end would have made it much more satisfying.
