I enjoyed Raven Stratagem for all the same reasons as Ninefox - although I enjoyed the increased focus on other characters, especially Mikodez. The only thing that kept me from 5 stars here was the end. The twist was great, but that was essentially the end of the book. The monumental actions that are built up to are delegated to a scant 2 chapter ending!

The book needed another 100 pages. I was legitimately frustrated by the ending: it was not only abrupt, but felt more like an epilogue than anything else. Compared to the exciting ending of Ninefox, Raven leaves a few loose threads but no strong push towards concluding the trilogy.
