4.0

A solid 4 stars, bordering on 5.

I read this book years after I read the first two. Bits and pieces of the other stories hung in the back of my conciousness as I plowed through the first couple chapters. I knew I cared about these characters, but I couldn't remember why. It gradually came back to me little by little, but not enough for a crystal clear picture.

All that considered, I still loved the book. I was entrenched with these characters to the point of tears at some points and laughter at others. The layout of the story, both visually and thematically, lead it to be quite a page turner. It doesn't feel like a 600+ page book.

The downside is the believability. As much as I loved and connected with the characters, some of the situations were a little strained, even for sci-fi. But that was just a small bother in an overall outstanding series.
