Catalyst Gate by Megan E. O'Keefe
3.0
This is the concluding book in the Protectorate Trilogy. I read the last few pages in minutes snatched on New Year's Eve. It's good, but, for me, not of the same caliber as the first two books. The plot became too extreme to seem fully credible. And the focus seemed more scattered, or perhaps simply less centered on the characters. For all their epic significance, I cared less about the origin of the interstellar gates and the forcible ascension of human beings than I'd cared about a small robot in book one (the most excellent Grippy).
For me, three and a half out of five sensationalist stars.
About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).
