An Autumn War by Daniel Abraham

5.0

Fantastic. The looming Galt threat hinted at in behind-the-scenes machinations in the first two books arrives in the form of all out war on the cities of the Khaiem...a war long thought suicidal, but the general of the Galt forces has found a way to make it happen. We see the conflict from both sides, and while we can sympathize with the motives of the general, two books of investment in Otah Machi & company ensure that we have to hope that they manage to pull some sort of victory out from onrushing defeat. And ultimately the end is absolutely the only thing that could have happened, pyrrhic and yet transformative, the perfect capstone to a magnificent book.
