Strong choice at this point to visit backstory on a few of the main characters, especially the enigmatic Agent 355. Did not disappoint, and still I want more of her.
Also good to see some of the sprawling of characters begin to reverse, as well as actual movement on storylines and conflicts, and all without telegraphing exactly what resolution to expect.
Appreciate the choice to leave (original) Beth walkabout without checking in directly, as even mentions of her are nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying.

Out here dropping bomb shells after bomb shells with these reveals! I can’t believe there’s only one book left. There’s soo many loose ends….. how’s this going to finish???!

This one really went off the rails for me, but I will be finishing.

Probably my least favorite of all of the books. Just feels like it needs wrapped up at this point.

This book was a lot slower in comparison to the previous three, but the characters and their individuality really shone through in this instalment.
So far this series has been brilliant! However, I did feel slightly let down by this one, the story was no where near as action packed as the last book it was a lot more focused on character development so it did drag quite a bit.
However it focused so much on that it forgot about the actual progression of the story I don't feel like we have moved much further forward. The characters constantly keep being re-directed and re-directed because they're doing re-directed they've actually lost sight of their initial mission. It's frustrating as a reader when your reading something and the storyline just keeps repeating itself.
I am still totally hooked and I am looking forward to the final instalment!

This volume continued to be good. I will say that it felt a little more scattered in parts which made it harder to follow. I am also beginning to see why people have trouble with the length of this particular series and with Vaughan's tendency to push mature content so consistently. All that being said, I love that I don't know how this series is going to wrap up. The characters are exciting to follow and the story is wonderfully complex. There are many strong points to this story, including the twists and new developments of book 4, and I look forward to seeing how the finale plays out.

This is the weakest volume so far but it gets better near the end, so let's hope the final book is a good enough ending.
