"This was easily the best and most bending of the three books. I don’t want to give things away but I found myself laughing occasionally at developments and ideas presented from time to time because it’s almost like the author needed to get all of his most complex ideas out in this single book (though it wasn’t out of nowhere, it totally made sense!). Really enjoyable, glad I went through the whole series instead of stopping after the first book that I was lukewarm on!"

"The other two books were very good. This one was mindblowing."

"Okay I don't even know where to start. This book is so jam PACKED with content, I don't want to give a single detail away so that everyone can experience it for themselves, so I'll keep my normally lengthy review short.
Was this book amazing? Absolutely, it was somehow even better than the two that came before it.
Was it a great end to the series? Well this is actually something my boyfriend and I argued back and forth about because it really depends on what you consider great. It was the kind of ending that I should've seen coming because of the way this author writes, but at the same time I personally would have wanted just one small detail changed. When you get to it you'll know. Was kind of rude for the author to do that.
All in all, I honestly highly recommend this entire series. There are some parts that don't make sense but there is not a single detail that is left uncovered by the end, and not in some cliche way, but just by the general push of the plot. The writing is beyond magnificent, perfectly toeing the line between science fiction and reality, pulling you in with these picturesque descriptions of things that we've never seen before. It's amazing.
I guess this review wasn't short haha."

"An epic scale finale to a brilliant series! This one was stepped up in almost every category there were a few moments I didn’t like very much and a few concepts that felt too dragged out but other than that an excellent finisher to the series probably my least favorite of the three though"
