Content warning Spoiler?: Baddies not bad?
Kill the crawlers, get better at killing, and you get to go deeper. And one day, eventually, we will be so deep that crawlers will never come, and we will finally have peace. We will have peace and a place to live and breed and have our little ones run free and not worry about killing for survival.

Great series!
4 stars
Book 4 was my least favorite, but the series wraps up beautifully. A rich and inspiring universe.

Thank you. Finally. After 5 attempted murders.

Hmm, so the characters have reconciled. I guess I get lost trying to understand her panic while it's happening. Not sure how she got to such a high powered job with this much fragility. She should have experienced dozens of these at lower stakes already in her career?

Hmm... Ya, chapters 8-10 are my least favorite part of this series. Like, OK, another protagonist went yet again into another they're going to kill you trap without any security. But then politics / leaving a job / getting fired are huge panic inducing traumas? Characters who have been in corporate environments for decades massively overreacting... I'm just not buying the plot.
The previous trauma? 100% legit, I understand that emotionally would hit like a truck. But I'm struggling to empathize with what might be unresolved PTSD because I don't have any outside perspective to tell me if just this character, or the author, is off the rails...

Chapter 5: Are you fucking kidding me? How many murder attempts does it take before any god damn protagonist will take a security guard with them when they go on their crazy ass spying missions?

There was a misconception about hate, that it created systems of inequality. In reality, systems of inequality created the hate, either justifiable anger against the colonizers and hoarders or a carefully crafted narrative to justify the colonizing and the hoarding. Unequal distribution or resources and opportunity were the root cause of, and justification for, conflict everywhere and throughout time.
