If you’re not into reading a whole trilogy crammed into one book then i’d suggest staying away: this book is huge. But if you’ve got this far you’ve just read two books of similar length so you’re used to it by now — dive right in.
My thoughts are that this book just doesn’t come up to the same level as the previous two. I think it’s because everything in this universe that we’ve come to know is all getting torn apart into molecules by the Inhibitors and there’s not much left of life as we once knew it. It’s all quite depressing really, as are some of the characters. And while i like a writer who isn’t afraid to kill off a main character or several, i was a bit put out by one of them as i really wanted to hear more from them: i won’t say which one because it would spoil the whole book.
But, this is war, this is the threatened annihilation of the human race, so we can’t expect it to be all upbeat and fun — can we?
So yeah, straight into Galactic North now and then it’s a bit of a wait for Inhibitor Phase to be published on 26th August 2021.
