It's OK

The best aspect of this book is that it is often very funny. However, I've seen the plot of jumping through different time periods a bunch of times done better. It is especially sad that only one, maybe two, of the future time periods is explored in any detail. Also, the book is often weirdly horny?

Satisfying conclusion to the trilogy

4 stars

In my experience, the third part of trilogies usually sort of tapers off. This is also true here but not as bad as in many other series. Overall, this was still a pleasant read.

Without spoiling too much, this book delves deeper into the faction the previous two volumes sort of left unexplored. That means that the series closes without leaving you with any burning questions about the world building, which is quite nice.

Pretty average

When I started reading this book, I really did not like it at first. Many aspects of the story and characters initially felt quite cliched and forced. As the book went on, I found myself enjoying the characters and central mystery more. Especially the latter turned out to be a bit more exciting than initially expected. Still, this book isn't anything out of the ordinary. There's probably something better out there for you to read instead of this.
