Very enjoyable! Lots of setup, here, but that's to be expected from the first book in a series of this sort.
Started enjoying it a lot more when I switched from the GraphicAudio to the Tim Gerard Reynolds narrated version, but who knows, I might give the GA of the other books a chance later.
Looking forward to the rest!

A lot of payoff, some good politicking, and some humourous characters, this was a good way to end the trillogy. Even though they still mostly stayed in the same place as the second book, I felt we got to see and learn more about the world, which I was very happy about.
I'll probably take a break before reading the rest of the series.

The world felt a lot smaller than in the first book, but it was still interesting to read. Focusing in on one location and their inhabitants made sense for the story, but was less interesting than the expansive exploration of the first book.

Took me a few chapters to really get hooked, but understanding that there were multiple timelines early on (and not just one of the segments off doing its own thing every other chapter), and getting a little more familiar with the characters, it was a really good read.
Pacing felt excellent, characters felt authentic, and I really liked the concepts explored, such as the collective consciousnesses.

This one felt a lot longer than it could've been, and while it was nice to follow characters from previous entries in the series, there was way too much repetition of dialog and rehashing of arguments without any new information or new points being brought up.

I like the multiple perspectives, keeping a consistent cast of characters was refreshing, and the different perspectives weaving together was very interesting.

Took me a second attempt to get through this book, but once I actually committed, it was enjoyable. Once I got to the second half, it was easier to follow what was going on, and the characters were consistent enough as well.

It's incredible that this was written almost 100 years ago.

Exactly the kind of book I would expect from Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale, PhD. I feel smarted for having read this.

Interesting story, often very nice prose, but it left me with too many unanswered questions.
