Five stars overall for this trilogy. I enjoyed the advance of the plot and how the main character adapted and changed throughout. The battle sequences were played out well and the violence was described well without going over the top in blood and gore. The technology was cool also. Will read again somewhere down the line.

I should maybe not have read all three of this trilogy back to back, by the time I got to this book I was feeling a little bored with the story and the hero.
Still, it was a good conclusion to the story.

Pretty good ending to the trilogy. Definitely too much non-stop war, but done pretty well. Though in the end it's not real clear what gets resolved. Not a happy book, this is not a pretty future. And it remains a very different take on emerging AIs. 3.5 of 5.

I liked this a little more than the first two. Felt like it had more character arc, somewhat more coherence, and tied up a lot of loose ends.

A good enough ending to the trilogy, even though I liked it less than the previous installments. It still was split into three separate sub-arcs, just like the previous books, and there were a few intersting twists. But alas, it was a lot longer than it needed to be. It felt drawn out and lost a lot of the impact it could have had.

Although the writing is still a bit hit or miss, in the end this trilogy was rather enjoyable. Still schlocky, but in a fun way that made for an enjoyable read.

The one I liked the least in the trilogy.
It's not bad, per se. Very action-oriented, and entertaining, but there is nothing to be looking forward once we knew, at the very beginning, about The Red. Except, maybe, to learn what would be the fate of Shelley once The Red was done with him.
And, as he has been slowly getting less and less attractive as a character for me, that wasn't a big incentive.
Still, not a bad story, just less than what I was expecting.
