A wild ride to be sure

Excellent story line well developed plot a great characters , heart felt moments as well. Plot twists a plenty you never see coming

How does everyone end up, where they do

This is not the final book in the series. It does explain how the entire galaxy arrives for battle in the New Canaan system. The author explains in the Forward. Great battles and snarky characters, as usual!

a fun listen

the series as a whole definitely developed into enjoyable character arcs and an entertaining plot.

my only true gripe is that the reader either developed it during this series, or I just didn't notice it at first, but she does this constant scoffing while talking, like everyone was constantly saying something extremely witty, sarcastic or arrogant, something like that. It's pretty annoying and very unnecessary. the writing style of dialogue did develop into being always witty, which is a bit tiresome at times.

there has been a bit of "everyone is the same character"- problem at times, like many people emoting in similar ways around the same times, like at one point there was tongue showing, at another many people were predatory grinning, etc. and the trends appear and disappear around the same times, you can definitely see what expression the writer felt pulled towards, instead of the characters having their unique habits and trends.
it's a bit like many the female characters were the same character, with minor differences in traits and looks. in spite of that, at least the female character-mold is kickass, so from a lighthearted series like this, it doesn't ruin the fun.
