This book was just as spectacular as the rest of the series. I loved that our characters from the previous two books got to meet up and their interactions were amazing. The plot was as fast paced and dark as ever, the AI as crazy, and the humor as spot on. Basically if you liked the previous two you will like this one as well. I'm sorry to see this series come to an end but it was wrapped up so beautifully, which is incredibly hard to do so I give the authors extra props for that.

This book was definitely more enjoyable than book #2. The YA elements were pared down a bit and the new love story (yes, the authors just had to add another one) was not front-and-center this time around. My main complaint, though, is that the burning question to finish out the series was answered very early on and we spend the next 500 pages waiting for it to happen. They really wanted to switch back and forth between the Mao and the plight ongoing on Kerenza, so they kind of had to spoil it, I guess. But I would have been fine if they had stayed on the Mao for a couple hundred pages, then switched to Kerenza for the next 200 pages. That way I would have been invested in the Mao a little longer. As it stands, I didn't care about the Mao a whole lot and just wanted to get to the rebellion going on planetside.
Also, the ending was a bit disappointing. If you're going to pull a big move like that, stick with it. Or at least most of it. They also did not resolve the courtroom situation completely. It's implied that BT is going down, but they don't show eth ramifications of it . It just felt a bit hollow at the end and too much of a happy ending.
Oh well. The series as a whole is still pretty good and worth a read. I just wish it would have dropped the romances in every book and stuck the landing a little harder.

They tried to pull off a big shock by killing Katya (Nooooo), Ezra, Nik, and have Kady/Isaac/Ella sacrificing themselves. That would have been extremely ballsey of them. But they saved every one of them and AIDAN ex-machina-ed back to save the day.Spoiler
or Leann's collapse after Ezra's rejectionOh well. The series as a whole is still pretty good and worth a read. I just wish it would have dropped the romances in every book and stuck the landing a little harder.

J’hésite entre ok et déçue...
Il y a beaucoup de personnages principaux et secondaires et chaque tome en a rajouté d’autres.
Ce dernier tome n’étant pas l’exception à la règle.
Trop de personnages c’est difficile parce qu’on ne peut pas tous les aimer...tout du moins, on ne les aime pas tous autant.
Sinon, il y a eu un manque cruel d’action significative dans les 300 premières pages. Les aventures de Rhys et Asha n’étaient pas aussi prenantes que celles de Kady/Ezra et même Hannah/Nik/Ella.
Si j’ai été heureuse de retrouver certains personnages que j’aime et Aidan, si j’ai eu des petits pincements au cœur à cause d’eux, c’est pas mal tout.
Les procédés créatifs sont encore vraiment diversifiés et divertissants. Le troisième tome m’a un peu fait penser au 3e de la 5e vague (Rick Yancey).
Les revirements sont vraiment prévisibles... Je ne sais pas à quoi je m’attendais, mais ça ne m’a pas satisfait.

Holy wow.
Absolutely mind blowing finale to one of my favorite series. Similar to the previous two books, we have non stop action, plenty of emotional pull, clever banter and characters the reader wants to root for.
These are compulsively readable - and definitely keep the reader on the hook. The format is amazing - I love the compilation of IM Chats, radio dialogue, notebook and sketch book pages and the narration of the Surveillance tech crew - it's kind of a unique format but once you get used to it - it's amazing.
BUT if you tried reading the book and the format threw you off do yourself a favor and check out the audiobook because IT IS AMAZING. It's voiced by a full cast and so much fun to listen to. I think that it definitely enhances the reader's experience.
I'm very happy with the way this ended - well done chums!
