A third of the length of the other books

I love these books but the first one was 13hrs long, this one being less than four really stunk. Still a good book, but I don't quite feel I got my money's worth.

Interesting

Well it seems like K close to the series it doesn’t feel fully satisfying feels like that one really good Christmas present was wrapped up in all of her and you can practically see what it is without opening it and it feels unsatisfying but it is an ending end it’s not entirely unsatisfying but it’s not what I feel is a great ending. I still like the story and and hope for more from the author.

It was a bit short

Well it did finish the story, and as the author stated that he does not like it when the story's ending leaves the reader listener expecting more, or a cliffhanger ending.
Still I purchased both the Kindle & Audible versions of the series. All four books.

Way too Short!

Yes, it tied up some things, but I was surprised just how short it was. The performance was outstanding, but it seemed like it was a flurry of issues, ending with “and they lived happily ever after.” Sort of like the author just got tired of the story line. Sort of like Game of Thrones.

Disappointed in this final book

The narrator does and excellent job. However, this ending book was much too short and seemed overly rushed. Wishing I had not listened to the final conclusion. The wrap up seem off like the author did not write it. Overall the space war book series was an enjoyable listening experience- just don’t buy or listen to this last book.

Disappointing Ending

The theme of finding a derelict starship has been done many times, the first 3 books of this series were ok, the 4th was disappointing.
The complete idol worship of the main character was overdone, he could do no wrong.
The A.I. entity could have been shown to have developed with more understanding of its human companions.
The main protagonists were just a undefined group working behind the scenes to take over the Coalition.
There was some character definition in the Earth badies, but none within the Coalition.

disappointing end to series

very clear the author ran out steam. last 2 chapters feel like a hand washing

Disappointing ending to an otherwise decent series

This series had potential, but the author just seemed to decide to end it abruptly. We weren't even given the entire climactic battle. Instead the main character is knocked unconscious and wakes up weeks later. That just feels like a cop out. Like the entire story was some mad fever dream of the MC.

Uhhh what

Just ends... Completely irrationally. Maybe the author died? Won't be buying any more from him.

Too short, annoying conclusion

Cant even give us a full book to cap it off? Also where did that left field for the MC relationship come from? This book is kinda like a bad aftertaste to a good series.
