Plot Convenience > Plausibility

I felt the overall story was quite engaging, if not confusing at times. The structure seemed a bit odd where the fist half of the book the Alliance dominated the Jung and the second half of the book tried to make up for that imbalance. Some spaceship chase sequences were particularly implausible where two experienced pilots get put to shame by a newbie soldier recruit.

Jessica is still being possessed by some sort of madness. The only plausible way the to explain her continued uncharacteristic behavior is perhaps to come up with a rationalization that she might be an abuser of stims or some other performance enhancing drugs which could explain why she's acting so strangely the last couple of books.

Personally I was looking toward a cathartic ending but there's a cliffhanger instead.

Overall however, I felt too many story arks were in this book were filler and that detracted from the overall scheme of things.

The saga continues!

Hard for me to be objective being so invested in this universe. All I can say is that I can't wait for more. The relationships between Nathan, Vlad, and Jess are great in this book.

I guess my only complaint is that, well, we're now 15 books into this series. Nathan has matured, Vlad has matured, many other characters have grown into well rounded characters. Jessica has not changed at all, she still acts like a child despite her elite training and all they've gone through. it's a little annoying and unbelievable in this universe. How am I supposed to buy that Jess would break rank to Tellis, whine like a child and lose her temper when given direct orders after EVERYTHING that's happened up to this point. Hopefully next book she will be more rounded like the other main characters.

A great end of the first 15 books!

Simply Fantastic

Great book with an even greater ending. Well done Ryk Brown. What an amazing story, wow!

Narrator

The story was sometimes hard to follow. Narration of the story sounded like the narrator was READ ING a script most of the time. Not saying the narrator was a terrible narrator, just that perhaps this type of story didn't match the narrator's natural demeanor.

What a fantastic ride, one hell of a good book.

Excellent book full of high and lows, culmination of a great series of episodes. The writer is very good the narration spot on. Each and every "episode's keeps drawing me back again and again.

Tears at the end

Three times through the series did the action bring tears. Vlad saluting for Nathan just caused the flow to begin

It is the greatest series I have ever read

The ending is so fitting, to see all of it come to close. This series has taught me so many life lessons. I cried at the end. Truly an amazing series, so many amazing parts. What started out kind of childishly written turned into the most epic series I have read. I have gone through over 100 audiobooks this year, this series was the best of them all. I know it seem like I may be blowing it out of the water, but to me.... The series was beautiful, amazing, I cannot describe in words to give this justice. The ending..... Just perfect. So perfect, beautiful, sad, and true to humanity. Thats what this whole series is about, humanity. We have the ability to be so much more. So much more...

A Great Saga

A story that you must experience. The narrator is good, and it just keeps rolling.

Amazing as usual!

Hard to see this episode/series come to an end....but looking forward to the next set of books! Please keep them coming!
