this series has been a journey, highs and lows of the characters and parts of the story bur has always been one that I instantly stop to read when a new book comes out. there was a point a few books ago I thought the series was writing itself into a corner that there would be no way out. the last second to last book I felt was a bit of a struggle but also I could see the author fighting himself out of the corner. the pace of the book was great nothing felt rushed. it ended the main story well and the epilogue gave a good send off to everyone. literally a feeling of peace and self reflection for the characters. the last 3 or 4 books had been so heavy for them I doubt anyone could mentally be sane. in closing thank you this Cycle and all of its books. well done Ed

it wasn't bad but I felt like it was all a training montage without the montage. to much time spent on theory and someone Dante makes things happen. it was good they brought an old character back. but I won't spoil it

15 books over the last few years is a feat in itself. The content kept coming and it did slow in some books.

This book was similar lots discussion vs action. the fun humor remained but everything seemed a bit fast a bit to clean. I felt he didn't know how to end it and just kinda made it end. Almost 20 hours of book and the end finished up in less than hour and it wasn't a climatic build up to that hour.

I can see another book or perhaps another spin off. I'm conflicted I want more but I don't at the same time.

thanks for the journey

I've been listening to this series for almost 7 years. it does not get old. this book continued to expand on some ideas not fleshed out in previous books and at the same time kept a smaller bank of characters. can they really save the world? is a theme throughout, and what happens If they do? great book for me and amazing narration as always.

When a series gets past the trilogy phase the story tends to wane a bit. however NSS continues to create an attention grabbing story. opening new doors and hell creating new beast/dangers for the characters to encounter. book 9 I felt at one point I felt was setting up for a prequel spin off of a character but ended with the story of the main characters ready for book 10. and now I wait thanks NSS
of course RC Bray continues to be one of the best narrators in the biz.

I loved the book, I felt the previous book was slowing down with the story a bit. however it comes back with a big, adds some new elements and future that can lead to alot of new things. if you are a fan of the series you will not be disappointed. of course you could pick the story here, as there just enough references to the previous events but you will do yourself a disservice.

Usually by book 6 things start to slow down in a series, there just isnt much juice left in the grape as the writer squeezes all they can. Well that's not the case in Helldivers 6 the story continues with new threats and issues that pull you deeper into the series. The entire book is good, characters, plot, narration and of course the ending leaves you longing for more... HD7 cant come soon enough
