A review by tricapra
The Last Emperox by John Scalzi
4.0
A riveting conclusion to the Interdependency Saga. Tongue-in-cheek, with break-neck pacing and a delightful number of unexpected twists and turns, if you've enjoyed the last two books in this series, or Scalzi's other works, you'll be right at home here. I hadn't read the last two books since their respective releases but after about a chapter I was able to dive right back into where we were in the story, as Scalzi gives you just enough hints to jog your memory and not leave you hanging. I really appreciated that, as I'm often left wishing that publishers or authors would do a little series recap at the beginning for those of us who didn't re-read for whatever reason.
It took three books, but I finally like Greyland! Which was nice, because we spend a decent amount of time in her head this time. Actually, I feel like all the characters had a bit more depth this time, which is good because I tend to find Scalzi's characters a bit shallow. But this was fun, this was a lightning-quick read, this is the popcorn space opera I needed.
