Wow, brutal. but then, brutal has been a keyword of the entire series. In some ways, I kind of find it refreshing.
Grimdark fantasy before grimdark came to mean cool assassins and women dressed in skin tight leather with tattoos. Basically before it became superficial. There is nothing superficial here.

This book is mostly targeted towards the interested enthusiast, someone who may not have the formal education, but is somewhat familiar with at least some of the subjects.
For this reason, the book doesn't go into great detail on any of the covered subjects and avoids the use of equations, but does include a detailed bibliography where you can find more information.
I would have liked a little more depth in some areas personally, but I think the book accomplishes what the authors set out to do.
And hey, I liked the humor. So sue me. :D

A let down after the first two books.
The story starts. It takes a turn into left field and doesn't return until about half way through the book. That lengthy visit into left field had very very little to do with the rest of the story. Both pieces ended up being unsatisfying.

Months later and I'm still still stumbling around here.
There were some happenings in this book, especially in the later parts, which basically made the hair on the back of my neck stand up straight and I was left with a very uneasy feeling that it sheds the events in both books in an entirely new light.
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this.
