A hurried and badly written conclusion

The first book in the series showed promise - it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. A lot of the plot seemed contrived, without point, and the author spent inordinate amount of time killing off newly backstoried characters.

The second was interesting, but in the sort of "complete mess" way, where the book managed to complete albeit with a bit if a crazy plot twist. It wasn't really the same book as the first, that should have been a warning sign.

This last book, it would be better to ignore the first half of the book completely, and then skip to the interstellar ballad riddle wanted to tell in the middle... this might have made a decent story in its own right, but it was rushed and as a result poorly written. Avoid this series, or at the least read the first book and skip the second two.

It's a book of seven concepts you will find elsewhere - but that's not a bad thing. It gives a clear set of expectations and meets them well. If you intend to *follow* the principles, it is worth a re-read. Only doesn't get a 5 because, it is not ground breaking.

Compelling beginning, carlos goes into an introduction of how our understanding of time has changed, where it has come from, and how we are beginning to understand it. However, he ends with a loosely put together bit of somewhat lazy philosophy which leaves more questions than answers. The end the book is more a personal reckoning with the authors life than a compelling journey.

All in all, good writing and Benedict Cumberbatch reads exceptionally well.

If you weren't paying attention at the beginning, you'll probably take a different meaning at the end.

Otherwise, light hearted book on why we're fucked, some ways to think about it.

Quaint moral posturing, author spends a deal of time on character development, magical system could be better explored. Voice acting is enthusiastic and rather heartwarming.

Leaves on a cliffhanger but besides that, no complaints here. Much better than the previous book with introspection.

Only beef was it was too fast paced. Not a lot of time spent rounding out characters. Seems like a fun story w. potential though.

A great ride

Recommend to anyone that enjoys fantasy, or just needs a pick me up. A bit over the top at times, but always coming up with a new concept to play with.

Some world building, Some scifi, some fantasy. Good mix, if you keep your suspension of disbelief you wont have much of an issue with this.

More intriguing intellectually, but a bit shallow. Nevertheless a good setting to explore in a mindless fashion.
