Really strong ending tot he series. The biggest flaw with this book is that every battle has the same structure, where there’s a flashback showing how they used technological innovation to solve a problem that otherwise is unsolvable. Feels very mcgguffin-y, and doing it once or twice is fine, but it happens constantly in this book. The characters are superb in this book though, extremely complex and make decisions that are not always the most obvious choice but fit their character and take the story in interesting directions. The ending is very good, and puts a bow on a lot of threads from the series.
