bold move with the title, but they really pull it off this book.

this is a great final installment.

the entire book is good, but here’s a couple moments that stuck out.

spoilers

I forgot how it starts, with menderash willingly turning into a nothlit(mirroring tobias in the first book) so that he can pilot the Yeerk ship to take them to investigate the kelbrid space is so exciting!

I wonder how many mirrors of the first book there are that I didn’t notice since I was devouring the story.

the extended internal torment where Jake is reckoning with Rachel’s death and his responsibility as a war criminal who sends his friends to their death.

That Jake and Cassie don’t end up together.

but all the anamorphs are pretty much unfulfilled, carrying on Rachel’s legacy.

I can’t sing this book’s praises enough, it really is a solid ending with room to continue or conclude a limited run if they want to.

    I agree with everything you said, every concluding element combines into a truly fantastic ending for the series.

    I’d appreciate it if you can throw a spoiler tag around your first and second paragraphs in case anybody else stumbles across the series and these posts for the first time.

    thanks.

        I appreciate it.

        example:

        heading

        content

        should look like this when you type it out:

        ::: spoiler heading  
        content  
        :::
        

        put your heading where it says heading and the content where it says content and you’re good to go!

        most clients have a button with a little diamond with an exclamation point above the text box, and that’ll insert the spoiler formatting into your comment for you.

          Sweet, I appreciate the help. I don’t remember exactly what I wrote and the comment is currently removed, but if you can restore it I’ll add in the spoiler tags
