This book altogether wasn’t the huge, amazing wrap-up of such an awesome overall series for me as it should’ve been. It was a decent wrap-up, yes, but not outstanding. It left you wanting more and left a ton of questions unanswered that I’m not sure if they’re picked up in another book or not or just left unanswered for all time. The book was harder for me to pick up and maintain at first due to the beginning starting off as a flashback. From the back blurb of the book’s cover I immediately put together the link and clue/hint about the Escape Pod relation. A couple pages in I read in present day in the book a mention of a Hyperspace Route that sounded familiar. I flipped back a few pages and there it was in the Flashback. I found that super interesting. I especially enjoyed Gizz’s “interrogation” of Overseer Umbrag. That was the funniest part of all four books in the Series. The ending of the book was the most wild ride for me. Starting with the reveal of Lalo Gunn’s true alliances (Separatist Bounty Hunters or Breakout Squad? Guess you’ll have to read to find out) as well as her cleverness when dealing with fellow Bounty Hunters, her brave and discreet actions with Chatterbox, the already obvious reveal of the Clawdite version of Sharp and the real Sharp’s ultimate showdown, the cleverness of the Mandalorian Death Watch covering up their tracks, the confrontation between Ambase and Nuru and how Nuru knew things were manipulated in his Master’s mind, the way Nuru was saved from Ambase’s attack being so tragic, brave and bold (yet remedied rather quickly fortunately), even the fact I noticed that instead of telling the Clawdite to kill Umbrag Ventress wanted him brought directly to her question him to find out what was going on with Dooku’s plot that he wouldn’t tell her, and finally, my favorite part, Nuru’s Force Vision showing him all of these events beforehand being the most interesting, awesome and cool way to see the events before they happened even early on in the book was super amazing. I like how ALMOST everybody ended up, especially Cleaver and Chatterbox (except Master Ambase, but I suppose that’s an acceptable resolution for him) but I can’t believe how many loose strings in this plot by Dooku and Palpatine are yet to be explained or wrapped up, including why Nuru Kungurama appeared to be abandoned in that Escape Pod. We’re still left in the dark on many things. I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe the biggest reveal at the end however. THAT was a shocker completely. Palpatine’s treachery reigns on, and the mystery of the Chiss Ascendancy and its Aristocra continues on as well.  Overall, a fairly enjoyable read, made you want to speed up reading at the end especially.
