“All right, Beltan,” Travis said. “Take us home.”
I feel so sick… oh my god…
This series was the craziest thing I could’ve gotten into. The world building, the cast of characters, their relationships with each other and every fucking thing about it all was so horrendously good and great and everything in between.
I feel sad that it’s over but it was such a lovely finale to a series I’ve been slowly reading every since I started it in January of 2022.
Unfortunately, this book was the weakest installment SOLELY! Because of that One 100 page chapter (you know who you are). Everything else was splendid though.
I’m going to miss them all so much…

Brilliant end to the series. The story lines were all tied up nicely, (though I didn't understand one of the main character's final decisions).

When I first picked up this series at Value Village, I did not expect the heartwarming queer ending that I desperately wanted to see in books and stories. Travis did not suffer because of his sexuality and the romance played an important part in the story, but the book was not centred around it. The relationship added depth to Travis’ and Beltan’s characters. With every book, I hoped that they would work out. Beltan and Travis for ever!

Really enjoyed this series -- it was in many ways sort of a pulp sf blend of, like, the Lord of the Rings with Back to the Future and a dash of super sweet pining and romance. Really enjoyed the matter of fact depiction of gay and lesbian characters, of people being bi and of the trans* character. These books had a lot of heart, too, and I was definitely cheering for not just the main characters that we grew to know and enjoy but a huge number of the background minor characters too -- the author does a great job of sketching people three dimensionally (sometimes too good a job, woe for the body count of charming innocent bystanders in some cases :/)
Trigger warnings for one attempted assault 'on screen' in the first book, and for repeated reference (and several flashback scenes) to a main character's history of sexual abuse as a child. I really wish there'd been another way chosen to incorporate the plot points that that served, but the author did do a fairly sensitive job with it, at least. I can probably give more details if friends would like them, but I would still definitely recommend reading this series. (I want moooooooooore!)
