A great way to end a great series!
It ended just as well as it began. I thought Jacobs wrapped it up well and the end. Grizz finally avenged his death shortly before Marc ended the maniacal Tyche. The fight scenes were cool as always. I did wish there was more focus on the fight scene featuring Nova, Aurora, and Tempest. That wouldn’t been cool. Instead, it was mostly glossed over.
The sex scenes were great. I thought there would be more group sex, like Marc and all of his women, but it was just a few threesomes which was something.
The dialogue as usual was clever and catchy. Especially the final showdown. Marc by this point wasn’t as cocky or annoying as in the previous books. It was nice to see his progression as a character. Speaking of which, all of the characters work well off each other as usual.
The main reasons this only has 4 stars are because of a few things:
1. 2 characters that could’ve been used more, weren’t. I wish T. Vou got her comeuppance. This would’ve been the best way to end her. As for Marc’s opponent from that match on Earth, where was he? I thought he’d play a bigger role in the next installment. Instead, he’s completely forgotten. As for Marc’s Dad and the President, they’re only mentioned. As mentioned earlier, it would’ve been nice to have all Marc’s women meet up for an amazing time. Alas, they didn’t. What we got was ok. Teasing, but ok.
2. The sex. Don’t get me wrong, the threesomes were fine, I just thought there’d be a bigger finish at the end. I already mentioned my feelings on it earlier. I just think more could’ve been done.
3. The pacing. I felt like it lagged on at times. I enjoyed it but at the same time, I was ready to be done. Some of the exposition seemed a bit pointless. It felt like it gave too much and too little at times.
Even with these nitpicks, I’m still happy with the outcome. It ended pretty well. Not how I was hoping but still great nonetheless. If you like the series, this’ll be worth the wait. Grab your spaceship and check it out for a final showdown of a lifetime.
