I love this series so much, even though I genuinely have no idea what's going on plenty of times. The narrator of this book was a 6 month old baby and she was somehow the most reliable so far. Maybe will get lucky in Alecto the Ninth and the narrator will make sense, probably not.

Harrow and Gideon are finally in the same room and separate bodies. The ship can keep sailing, even if Gideon is dead. If they don't get together I'm gonna be so mad.

I'm so sad about Camilla and Palamedes. I loved both their characters. I know that this ending is the one that makes the most sense for them, but I still hate Paul. They balanced each other so well that when they combined they formed the most boring person in the planet.

We get some backstory on Jon, how everything went to hell. I know he's an asshole, starting ww3, and that killing the entire solar system and then becoming god is like, not great. But also it easy to understand why someone would have detonated those nukes. Starting ww3 to spite trillionares and capitalism.

Hopefully book 4 will come out next year.
