I think I might like this third book even better than the first. It's taut, focused. Still full of a crazy number of entities and ideas, but it all feels like rushing toward a definitive conclusion. A page-turner. I'm honestly inclined to recommend new readers just skip the overstuffed confusion of the second book, maybe read a summary, and then read this one. In effect, treat it as a duology.

Enjoying this so far. After loving the first book, I found the second one a confusing mess. I remember almost nothing about it. This one is giving me first book vibes again. Also, Turnbull slyly turned this trilogy into a tetralogy by bringing his debut novel into the Convergence Saga universe. Which is cool, but now I kinda feel like I need to go read The Lesson before finishing this one.
