Really fun series overall, I’d love to read more books set in this world

something about the ending was unsatisfying to me…

It was too easy after all that?
There wasn’t much sacrifice?
Some loose ends - like ai sentience (I was half expecting peaceful ending with robot bodies or brains grown in jars for the Homians)

Kaaro’s (first) death made me legitimately sad, but I think the ending would’ve been better if he’d still been alive for it.

He was already on extra time, so it felt like a lot less of a sacrifice that he had to make
