The Last Emperox by John Scalzi
5.0

Scalzi, John. The Last Emperox. The Interdependency No. 3. Tor, 2020.
I read it in one day. This is not something I usually do. Usually, I am reading three or four books at once in bits and snatches, but Scalzi kept me pumping all the way through and I grumped when I finished it because I wanted more. Emperox has the kind of depth of character and thoughtful social-economic detail I can usually only find in C. J. Cherryh and the dramatic action and humor that I usually have to reread the Vorkosigan saga to satisfy. Cardenia and Marce are a lovely couple, and Kiva still kicks ass and cusses like a sailor on leave. The flow is still collapsing, and the plotters are plotting. So, well done, John. Now, since you very carefully left some threads still spooling, get on with the next trilogy.
