I loved this series and am sad to see it go. While unconventional in places, I really enjoyed the different take on space travel, aliens, and the future as a whole. Definitely among my new favourites!
Find this review and more on my blog at Worlds Unlike Our Own.
Having discovered the true threat to the galaxy, Zara and her allies are hot on the trail of Lifekiller, a beast that can consume planets. But finding it isn’t the problem. The crew are definitely outmatched in this fight and need a better strategy before they can attempt to fight the god-king again. If that wasn’t enough, Torian Deluca is still furious with Zara for messing with his operation – furious enough to send her ex, Derry, after her into space to kill her. Now branded outlaws and with trouble approaching on all sides, time is running out fast for the group and Zara must figure out a way to stop the creature before it reaches its next target.
This book was non-stop action which was no less than I expected after how the series has been so far. It opens at the exact place Honor Bound left us, with Lifekiller poised to devour Greenheld, the homeworld of the Abyin Dommas that defeated him the last time. This conclusion to the trilogy was pretty much everything I wanted from space battles, to character growth, and of course, the plot twists. I was quite surprised that the group comes face to face – metaphorically speaking – with Lifekiller only twice, but there was plenty else going on to keep the reader’s attention and I didn’t feel like the pace lagged at any point. While I was able to predict where the story was going at around the 75% mark, the hints weren’t very obvious, so it remained an enjoyable read. I’m honestly surprised this series isn’t more popular, because it’s amazing and is now firmly fixed on my list of sci-fi recommendations.
As with the previous two books, I loved the the three central characters Zara, Bea and Nadim, but the romance between the trio was honestly just awkward and didn’t add much – the authors should have kept it as it was in book 2. What stood out about this book is how significant the secondary characters turned out to be. Chao-Xing had a much more important role than I expected (though I wasn’t a huge fan of her plotline), as did the Bruqvisz and Starcurrent. It was only in this book that I really connected with these characters and it’s wonderful that this fast paced finale took the time to focus on character development as well. I think that my favourite of the secondary characters in this book though was the medical robot EMITU, who was simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, making for some pretty humorous moments.
There are two reasons however, why this wasn’t a 5 star read for me. Firstly, there were times when this book felt like it was just moving through short quests as new challenges showed up one after another, not all of them particularly necessary in my opinion. Secondly, what I feared would happen with the Earth plotline and Deluca sending Derry after Zara turned out to be partially true. It’s presented as a major obstacle for about half the book, and is then resolved far too conveniently, bearing no further effect on the plot – essentially, it felt like a waste of time since it was so unrelated to the real conflict.
Honor Lost was a great conclusion to this series, and I thought that it tied up all the loose ends nicely. I’m so glad I got to read this entire series together and spared myself the book 2 cliffhanger. This was a fun read and it was really nice to join these familiar characters on the last stretch of their quest. I would highly recommend this series for sci-fi fans and honestly wouldn’t mind a novella or two just to see more of this world.

Perfection, absolute perfection. When I say this book was exactly what I ever wanted from this series, I'm not kidding. This was seriously everything and I will never get over this.
I've never been blessed this much?? I can't believe I had doubts on where this book would go. I'm not going to get into too many spoils but this is the finale to this massively underrated series. I want to sob thinking about how underrated and unknown these books are because they truly deserve the world.
This is an amazing space story of so many different aliens, sexuality, romances, and culture. The main romance is seriously a polyamorous girl x ship x girl and the authors do not mess around in showcasing how beautiful and amazing their bond is. Plus they are so SOFT AND PURE together. Seriously there are so many good quotes and cute scenes, I was filling up my phone with screenshots. It is so fucking adorable and I am still so emotional.
I've wanted this relationship even when I was reading book one and I don't know how to thank the authors enough for fully committing to this rare and unique ship. It's like I wanted things to happen one way and the authors reached into my brain and were like, "shit that's good we're doing this for her". They could have chickened out BUT THEY DIDN'T and just ??? Thank you ??? SO MUCH. From the bottom of my heart.
I don't want to be extra but I read this in my february month of romances and honestly this feels like the most romantic book I've read so far this month. uGH CAN I JUST HUG A BOOK AND THE AUTHORS FOR FEEDING ME SO WELL?
Beyond the romance that slaps, I did like their adventures and the final battle was pretty damn epic. This is more of a character based story so the plot was kind of weak, no shade. They have to kill the epic god Lifekiller but they deal with so many other random problems nonstop along the way. It's very fast paced, the characters barely ever get a chance to breathe and I just wanted them to have a NAP. (But that scene where they do get a break before the final battle though, if you know you know

Third in The Honors science fiction series for Young Adult readers and revolving around Zara Cole and Nadim, a living spaceship.
My Take
For some reason, Honor Lost feels more Young Adult than the previous two stories. It's too conspicuous in its fervor, aided by Caine/Aguirre's use of first person protagonist point-of-view from Zara's perspective. Zara is so over-the-top in her determination to "save the universe" that it's a bit jarring.
The characters have mellowed quite a bit since Honor Among Thieves, 1, and Honor Bound, 2, which takes some of the tension out of it. Although, the events that involve Chao-Xing are definitely tense! It does make for an interesting way to solve that scary conflict.
Typhon is amazingly graceful in his acknowledgements of Zara's actions. Meanwhile that Derry is such a little jerk. True, he is consistent with himself. And, like all bad guys, it's always someone else's fault.
I've liked the Bruqvisz from the start. They're honest in their dealings and filled with gusto for life and battle. It seems they're great jokesters as well! Too bad, really, that we find out so late.
The Story
From heroes to fugitives, Zara and Bea are being hunted, even as they and Typhon and his crew hunt for Lifekiller.
It will be a glorious last stand.
The Characters
Honor Zara Akinyi Cole, a.k.a., Zeerakull, deep-bonded with the young Leviathan Nadim as his pilot, their bonded name is Zadim. Her mother and sister, Kiz, qualified for Mars and live in the Roma Colony.
Honor Beatriz Teixeira is Nadim's starsinger with a brilliant voice and has become Zara's lover. Honor Starcurrent, a tentacled Abyin Dommas, has joined their crew after the disaster in Honor Among Thieves. EMITU is an autodoc, which Beatriz has reprogrammed for snark, lol. Who knew EMITU could get so uppity, lol. I do like him! Xyllarva "Xyll" is a captive Phage, a sentient individual who came awake when he bathed in Honor Bound. When Beatriz and Starcurrent join Zara and Nadim, they become Starocean. They will evolve yet again and become Bezardim.
Typhon is an Elder Leviathan who has been badly wounded and holds himself aloof from his crew: Marko Dunajski and Zhang Chao-Xing, a.k.a., JongShowJing. Typhon's deep bond name becomes Lightstorm. Honor Yusuf is another of the survivors of the attack in Honor Among Thieves.
Then Lightstorm and Zadim deep bond and become Men Shen.
Bruqvisz are...
...big lizards, mercenaries and bards of the universe who believe in the glory of battle, who have become allies of "Zeerakull", joining them in their battle with their mech ships, which require ruthenium as fuel. Suncross commands their force with Followshome, Ghostwalk, and Fairweather part of his crew.
Greenheld is...
...Starcurrent’s home planet populated by the Abyin Dommas, tentacled beings, who prize singing...and whose world is protected by a warshield. The Planetary Defense Coalition is only momentarily grateful. The leaders include Searoam.
The Abyin Dommas prefer gender-free pronouns such as zis and ze. Haelara is another planet of Abyin Dommas.
The Phage are…
…a deadly enemy swarm that can strip a planet or ship of life within hours. They had been co-opted by the god-kings. Flaff is an adequate nutrition source.
Lifekiller is the god-king, one of the lesser of the Elder Gods, the enemy who has been entombed for centuries.
The Sliver is…
…a base for raiders, pirates, traders, and illegal and legal salvage operators. Its ruler, Bacia Annont, is a formidable entity. Businesses and inhabitants include Pinky's bar.
Other alien races include the Elaszi, blob-like beings with a hive memory who scavenge the universe. The Felkin? Fellkin? are another race. Oborub, a.k.a., Jellies, are more allies of Bacia's.
Back on Earth
The Honors program is meant to be a high honor for chosen humans who become the Pilot-and-Navigator crew on a Leviathan on a journey of exploration. A lie. The Honors Council consists of twelve international representatives. The Honorable Aben Rance Trent is the high judge advocate for North America and the chair of the Honors program. Lieutenant Colonel Atticus Boyd commands First Space Division Bravo and Fort Copernicus on the Luna Colony. Camp Kuna is a prison for juveniles. Dr Yu was Zara’s therapist.
Honor Jon Anderson seems to be Quell's pilot with Derry part of the crew. A rather useless one. Jury is a mechanical judge, jury, and executor. The Leviathan Ophelia has been paid off.
Torian Deluca is a criminal billionaire with fingers in too many pots. He's furious with Zara after events in Honor Among Thieves. The weak, addicted, betraying Derry McKinnon had been Zara's companion and lover back in New Detroit.
Leviathan, a.k.a., Singers, are...
...whale-like beings who sail the universe, refueling from the light of stars. They are able to reshape the insides of their bodies to suit their crew, which is always a pilot and a starsinger with whom they eventually bond, becoming one. There are two stages for their crew: Honor and then Journey. The outsides of their bodies can be mechanically rebuilt, installing armor and weaponry.
The Journey is something of a lie the Leviathan tell Earth, for it is part of their secret war. Part of the Leviathan bargain with Earth is their tech and medical knowledge.
The Cover and Title
The cover has a black background with faint white pinpricks of stars overshadowed with a ragged-edged circle of red-to-magenta that itself forms a background for a star array of white lines overlaid with three upside-down triangles of white light descending in size, the largest meeting in flares of blue at the tips. On top of that is a triangular silhouette of a spaceship. The bottom fifth is an active sea of agitated waves in a lighter magenta and black.
The text is all in white, starting with an info blurb at the very top with the authors' names below that. The title is centered over the central image with deep blue planets forming two of the "O"s. At the very bottom is an epigraph.
The title is a toss-up as to who is Honor Lost.

"Physically soft ... but you have a ruthless streak ... and the capacity to regulate it."Caine/Aguirre make up for their mellowed characters with some scary action that requires creative thinking, and they've "ended" this series very nicely while leaving a back door open for the future — that "interesting" and terrifying back history on Bacia! Egods!!

i did not like zara. why and how she became the leader does not make sense to me, beside the fact that she was the main character. she was so judgmental of everything, especially marko which made no sense to me. when the whole thing with him and chao-xyll happened, and c-x was screaming and he was backed up in fear, why was she judging him so hard?? like bea and nadim had show obvious fear of xyll but that's fine because they're her weird throuple, which makes literally no sense to me. when she started calling nadim baby and sweetheart i wanted to die i was still considering dnfing it during the last chapter. i was 95% of the way through and didn't want to finish, but i have sunk too much time into this series to not.

That was satisfying like the Battle of Hogwarts was satisfying. Not every book can give you a book hangover. I read it in one night.
OMG OMG OMG IT'S HERE AND I HAVE IT. I ALSO LOVED IT!!
Honor Lost was such a fun book! I have loved and devoured each book in this series because they are just so completely and unforgivably good. I love absolutely everything about these characters. It was also interesting to see little loves be together and grow. Ugh, I'm looking at your Bea, Nadim, and Zara.
I ALMOST CRIED HAPPY TEARS GUYS!

I'm honestly sad to see this series go. It was so much fun to meet everyone and see these wild adventures they were on as well. I'd say I would miss everyone but I know I'm going to dive back into this and fall in love all over again. Ugh, I miss them already.

This book only cemented the fact that this is definitely my favorite YA sci-fi series/book. It's just got everything I love in sci-fi (romance! space travel! tons of cool alien species and cultures that actually differ from each other and aren't earth knockoffs!!) I don't get why so many people are just overlooking this series entirely.
The romance in this series is seriously one of my favorite things and grew on me so much, even if it's admittedly a little weird. It's a poly romance of two human girls and their sentient space whale ship and their bond is seriously so wholesome and pure! They all love each other so much and care for each other and just wanna have a million adventures together!! I loved seeing this develop from book 1, and where it ended up in book 3 (and I love that these authors just went hard on this romance, instead of just making it vague/implied. Like yes its weird but they love each other! that's all that matters!)
The sci-fi setting of this book is fantastic too. It takes place a bit in the future of Earth, though it's recent enough that Earth and its people and nations are still recognizable to the reader. But Caine and Agguire went hard on building and planning the space that Earth is situated in, and the cultures they coexist (unknowingly) with. There's so much variety and diversity in how each species understands their existence, and how this plays into their actions, desires, and opinions. Every species feels entirely unique and fully developed, and their cultures are all actually important to the story itself, and aren't just there for the background.
This finale was also just outstanding, I could picture the final battles in my head (honestly this series would make such good sci-fi films), and I definitely got a little emotional during some of the final scenes. There was also a perfect balance between the romance and the actual plot of the story, and it led to both aspects of the book being extremely strong. I really loved how the story was tied up here, and still gave some space for reflecting on the entirety of Zara's journey. Overall, I just loved it.
I'll definitely be rereading this series in the future, and I can't recommend it enough!
