Opinion: short and to the point to not spoil the book to anyone. I liked this book, but I didn’t love it as I did with the other two. I think it is well written, the setting and descriptions are amazing and there are awesome action scenes to impress anyone. There is also a violent scene between Robson Corta and one of the Mackenzies which was nerve wrecking! I was hooked to the book all that chapter. I liked the corporate espionage, assassinations, family wars, wars. I liked the science fiction with the head implants, and the discussions about the moon’s resources. I think those were interesting and why not educational.
So why did I not love the book? Three reasons:
- Too many new characters added to the story who I didn’t contribute much to the development of the story.
- Some main characters from the previous novels were barely present. I think Lucasinho was more an object than a character. Mariana Calzaghe’s plotline felt incomplete. What we got of her was uninteresting. I was hoping to get more until the last page but got nothing.
- The ending… I couldn’t predict it but it wasn’t a surprise either. I think it was anticlimactic as I was expecting more excitement or action.
My edition is a trade paperback published in 2019 by Gollancz. It has 528 pages.
