i liked the convergence of characters from all three books, it was very reminiscent of the illuminae files

The weakest book in the series, but not terrible. All the running at the beginning got very old very fast. I'm not a big fan of con artists so the fact that the heroine is one didn't help.

This is the least original of the three books as well. It felt pretty derivative; several times I thought, didn't I read that line in Harry Potter? One of the big Moments for the hero and heroine as they fall in love is when she teaches him to dance - *eyeroll* - one of the most overused flirty moments known to novels.

I think the book would have been better if the authors had let their previous characters from the first two books narrate some of the chapters. It was awkward reading about Tarver, Lilac, Jubilee, and Flynn only from the point of view of Gideon and Sofia.

Still, it was a fitting end to the series, and I'd definitely recommend the series to teens looking for fantasy romance.

Annnddd I'm done! What a thrilling adventure this book was! All the characters gathered together against one common enemy who actually got mentally wiped out by something even more sinister.

Let's take it from the beginning. We have Sofia, the war orphan from
"This Shattered world" who has escaped to Corinth after the pursue of a notorious hacker, the Knave. Her plans? To destroy LaRoux.

Enter Gideon. A boy with a dark past, a hacker and the one we also met on "This Shattered world" even if it was for a few pages. Both will unite against LaRoux and their race against time determinate the fate of the galaxy.

Told by both POVs we get to know their deeper stories and how those two got to get together. As the plot progress there is a smooth transistion from the pair of Gideon and Sofia to the rest of the characters as all of them come together.

In the final installment of this great trilogy we had to wonder about faith and trust. Two words simple, yet very strong in the human relationships. Can you trust someone even when you have everything to lose? Would you have faith that the outcome can be better than it seems? If you read the book you will understand the questions above.

I liked both Gideon and Sofia. In other reviews I read, it was mentioned that Sofia had a bitchy attitude, but I could understand her reasons behind it. If I had to jump from the one side of the galaxy to the other in order to survive I'd be suspicious too. Gideon offered some good moments of laughter, yet I was surprised when I discovered his connection to Lilac.

Oh Lilac and Traver! This couple can easily lead you to yet another couple who suffered through death! Akiva and Karou if you get what I mean. ;) There is only one extra POV towards the ending of the book and that's Lilac's. It's amazing and I'm going to torture you without spoliers!

And finally the cover's dress. There were some comments about it when the cover was revealed but I believe that the stylist did an amazing job with it. Gideon describes it with great detail in the book and honestly I'd rock if I wore a similar one!

This book was a damn great ending to a series I loved from the beginning leaving me in a sci-fi book slump, wondering: HOW I'LL BE ABLE TO WAIT UNTIL THEIR NEXT BOOK RELEASE?

Sigh, I wanted this series to go to some serious existential places from Lilac’s perspective and we barely even scratched the surface- we never even returned to Lilac’s perspective. That was my fear from book 1.

This series follows a format of introducing two new teens each book, and alternating chapters from each of their perspectives. And it does not deviate from this at ANY cost. I hate that we spend an entire book building connections with new characters and then in the next book they’re just these robotic shells interacting with our NEW characters. It feels empty and sad and I wish they just weren’t in the book at all if we don’t get to read from their perspective ever again.

A solid ending to this excellent YA scifi trilogy.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A solid and satisfying ending to the series, where a lot of the loose ends from the previous books are tied up.
