justine_ao 's review for:

Obsidio by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
5.0

An excellent conclusion to the Illuminae Files.

I thought the previous two books were both really good, but Obsidio ended up being my favourite of the three. As before, I can't say enough about the stellar quality of the full cast audio production. It was probably one of the most engaging audiobooks I have listened to.

The story deals among other things with questions about rules of engagement, particularly when the basis for the war itself isn't legal. It's a very complicated issue and, as expected, there were a lot of quite horrifying scenes in this book. But it wasn't anything unexpected given what has already happened in the previous two books.

Recommended.
