caitibeth 's review for:
The Last Emperox
by John Scalzi
The ending of a fun trilogy with some interesting worldbuilding, enjoyable characters, and big Space Opera feel.
I felt this book was less effective than the earlier ones (particularly the first book, which was definitely the best) for a variety of reasons. A lot of it is exposition, recaps of the previous books, or what felt like outlines for events (rather than the fully-developed events themselves). I know nothing about the publication history, but what it most felt like was a gradschool paper that was an outline the night before deadline and someone pulled an all-nighter to put a little flesh on the bones.
Still, even in its raw shape it was still an interesting book, and I enjoyed having some closure for the broader story.
