Lords of Uncreation

The 2nd book was a slog to get through but this third and final novel wraps up the series well. As always, Adrian’s strengths are his world building, characters, and he always leaves you with things to think about. This universe contains some of my new favorite characters.

This book twisted into many unexpected directions after the first arc. +1. Some of the characters were definitely chefs kiss. This series was sufficiently world-buildy/fantady to keep you wondering. Not far fetched, but wild, regardless

excellent and detailed

Trying to intellectually visualize the layers of physics that Tchaikovsky works through is difficult, but I would highly recommend the trilogy. It’s a good series

Expertly wraps up the series with a satisfying ending. The baddies are suitably explained and our plucky band of heroes as heroic as they need to be.

I did find the multiple POV in the final showdown to be a distraction, something that didn't bother me at all in the rest of the series. But I really liked how all of the characters polt lines were resolved, very satisfying.

The whole trilogy was great with adventure, intrigue and imagination to spare.

This book brought the series to a satisfying end. My only complaint is that the whole thing seems to run long with a lot of repetition. Probably about a third of the entire saga could have been cut. But still a fun ride regardless.

I reviewed this novel for the Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather:
