A spectacular end to the series. Everything gets wrapped up in a nice bow.
This ends one of the best sci-fi series I've ever read. The scope goes from the individual, to their relationships, to their ship, to their world, to their surrounding worlds, to their solar system. Then across solar systems... over 1300. Then through time to billions of years earlier. Then it assimilates all 1300 galaxies that host humans via the creation of a hive mind. And then it crosses universes. And then for its closing act takes us a million years into the future.
The scale of the storytelling is beyond imagining, but it's done so well that it all comes together coherently into a masterfully told epic space opera that explores the barrier of humanity and consciousness. The adventures in physics are super fun too, along with sociology, biology, psychology, philosophy and little chemistry mixed in for good measure.
This is a series I'll totally read again one day, and if recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi.
