A review by grilledcheesesamurai
The Rebirths of Tao by Wesley Chu

5.0

I finished this book today - and in turn I got a massive sunburn because of it. I was so transfixed by the damn book that I wasn't paying attention to the fact that my skin was taking a beating and literally roasting off my body.

There's no getting around it...Wesley Chu owes me a bottle of aloe vera!

As for the book itself:

WOW WOW WOW!

This was the final instalment of the trilogy and lemme tell ya, it ends with a very satisfying BANG! The three novels are incredibly fun reads on their own, but when you finish this one and see them all collectively as a whole it really shows the talent and skill that went into putting them all together. They are all so different from one another, and yet at the same time very in sync as well.

I don't really know what else to say. I'm not one of those reviewers that take you through, step by step, telling you what happened. there are plenty of other reviews out there if that's what you are looking for. I just prefer to babble on and on about what I liked or didn't like.

In the case of the Tao books...well hell...I liked it all!

I'll say this, however. The characters that start off in the first book are completely changed by the time they reach the last. their journey is intense and full of high risks and insurmountable odds. Along the way, there is plenty of action, tragedy, and suspense. there are also quite a few laughs and some very heart warming scenes.

I'm actually kinda sad torn into a million little pieces that it's all over and done with.

I want a Tao. Or at the very least, I wanna toss back a few beers with Roen Tan and hear him tell me a tale or two.
