Wow

This series has taken over my brain for the past few months and i dont think i’ll ever get over it. It started with leviathan wakes and ended with leviathan falls (literally iykyk). 
As an ending to an epic 9-book space opera, this book had a lot of pressure on it and it did satisfy me upto a degree. 
Getting Jim Holden’s POV (after not having his POV in last book) was a great experience as usual though a bit sad this time (this man has been through so much), Naomi and Amos remain as my favorite characters, Alex 🥹; the Roci crew feel so much like the Straw hat crew to me, they grew with the story and in the end i love them so much. They will always remain as the heart of the story. 
The weak point for me in this book was Tanaka; not really sure why she was there. She was an interesting character who I might have appreciated more in a previous installment but I would have preferred someone else like more Teresa or even Trejo. She just annoyed me :/ Bringing Duarte back was smart since i thought his “ending” in previous book was a bit anticlimactic. Although i still wish he was killed by like jim or elvi lol (imo, Tanaka didn’t really deserve to kill him) but i understand the plot trajectory didn’t allow that. I also think the pacing was a bit off in the beginning of the book but the last 40% had me on the edge of my seats. 
The ending was cool and the conclusion was bittersweet (as I expected it to be; my poor Naomi😭). I wish we maybe got to know more about the elder god-aliens but i get why we didn’t. Overall, i still enjoyed this book a lot! 

This series will always stay with me as one of my favorites. I’m going to miss it so much.

Glad I read it but this series needed to end. Too many subplot were based on people taking zero precautions then paying the price. That has been a trend for several books. only a few flashes of brilliance kept me interested in book 5 and 8. The series as a whole was usually a 4/5 so it was pretty solid. Most long running series have disastrous endings and this wasnt... so theres that too.
