Loved this series. I thought I was too snooty to enjoy a proper "rag-tag group of space adventurers" story. Turns out I just needed a good one. With Space Lawyers. And Space Bureaucrats. And God Clams. And a eugenically problematic but definitely badass race of warrior women. Basically, spiritually, it's a gritty reboot of Futurama. Drop the Becky Chambers and read this.

I thought the final act was good rather than great, but this is still a solid and satisfying finale to an expansive sci-fi epic trilogy.

Tchaikovsky tackles big concepts that are hard to translate into words. He does a really admirable job and his creativity is once again unparalleled. But it does get complex and a bit confusing at times.

A fitting end to the series, slowed down a little bit in the middle and Idris’s chapters/sections were especially slow at times (if he gains clarity on everything for only a second one more time). I found myself enjoying Olli and Kittering especially.
