There is character development in the sense that anything I liked about the characters from the previous books was completely shat on. Retroactively ruined my enjoyment of the entire series and Peter Watts's other work. Just don't. Read Starfish and stop there.

Ending felt a little abrupt, but overall a nice ending to the series.

Stopped reading because of all of the weird psycho-sexual torture he subjects characters to constantly.

Verschenen in twee boeken (βehemoth: β-Max en βehemoth: Seppuku). Ik heb de online versie in één volume op mijn Kindle gezet.

Ik ga er heel erg kort over zijn: No Sir, I Didn't Like It.

Ik heb er mij doorgesleept, maar het was met tegenzin. Ergens een fijn idee, daar niet van, maar ik had de indruk dat de man zijn boek gewoon niét heeft laten nalezen voor het gepubliceerd werd: minstens de helft te lang. En een einde dat geen einde is. Hopelijk is het vervolg even goed als het mij beloofd was. Verdorie.

Could have used a good editor. It is all over the place.

Semi-DNF. Watts was unnecessarily descriptive with the sadism and torture porn. I skipped over the mess and skimmed the ending. This book was a really unfortunate, anticlimactic end to the series, as far as I am concerned. So disappointed. How far from Starfish we have fallen with this one.
