I almost want to give this book a five star rating. Really my only qualm with giving it a higher rating is the end. I don't want to go into the exact details, but lets suffice it to say it wasn't quite how I was thinking the trilogy would end. Its not a bad ending, not at all; and as I think about other space opera series I've read its ending isn't that unusual. So I'm going to say it fell a little short of where I was hoping it would end, but was probably right where I should have known itDeus ex machina.What should an author do when his story has run amok, subdividing into dozens of storylines of dimishing value to the overall plot that would require another 3500 pages to resolve individually? Yeah, but at least it is over. I am grateful I did not tackle this before enjoying Hamilton's good works; after eating this rotten elephant, I would not have been able to bring myself to risk another.I did enjoy myself from time to time, so maybe it is just me. But don't say I didn't warn
The sight which greeted her was so incredible that the breath stalled in her throat.The Brobdingnagian conclusion to a Brobdingnagian trilogy. Just finishing this is an accomplishment (tap on shoulder). If you manage to make it through the trilogy you will have read more than 1.1 million words (this instalment alone contains more than 400,000 words and weighs in at almost 1,300 pages). Relevance? Well, if you are going to be spending so bloody long reading a SF trilogy it had better be damn
Well, it's over. This final book attempted to conclude all the stories begun in the other two, but then seemed to get sidetracked introducing new aliens and their worlds. It reminded me of episodes of the original Star Trek, boldly going...etc. The conclusion seemed a bit unbelievable. Still like Peter F. Hamilton, tho and will read more of his books.
I want to start my review by saying I am a little upset about this book at the moment:HULK SMASH!!! Sorry I got carried away. Anyhow all the signs were there; it is my fault I failed to recognize them. The end of otherwise excellent second book failed to make me as excited as what was going on before despite the cliffhanger. This was the sign of things to come - and boy did they came! I mentioned that the previous installment managed to avoid dreadful Second Book of a Trilogy syndrome. Here it
tl;dr: This is literally the worst book I have ever read. It ought to be called "Nudus Deus Ex Machina."I read it because I wanted to know what happened. Waste of time. The author spent thousands of pages setting up a totally unsolvable problem, and then solved it with a wave of his hand. This book asks the question, "What if an uppermiddle class white dude in the future (view spoiler)[was given godlike powers (hide spoiler)]?"The author would have done well to take a page from Brandon
I loved this, but geez, thank God I'm finished. :)I also fully intended to come back and really review this with a really real review. Really. But I finished it two weeks ago, and I think my relief at just being DONE has overwhelmed any real need to review it. It was a good read. It was a satisfying conclusion. I can definitely see why people would be pissed with the deus ex machina, but with the entire premise of the story, it really didn't annoy me that much -- especially since I was just so
