i have died, ascended, and lived again because of this series. holy mother of balls what a FINALE… except for the actual finale. which i felt couldve been more. BUT STILL. HOLY SHIT AND BALLS ALL THE REVELATIONS AND THE TWISTS AND THE OVERARCHING STORIES AND. im dead this is so so good so so clever and so so enjoyable. from the very beginning, the worldbuilding was promising in its uniqueness, but finding out everything about the origins of the scythedom, the culmination of those little teasing snippets about the space colonies, the shit with the tonists ???? SOO FUCKING GOOD. i could go on and on bro but the gist of it is simply: this is now one of my all time favorite trilogies/series/books. it’s just too good.
