I LOVE the first two books but god this book got weird. The first two still hold a special place in my heart and they truly are so good and fun.

I was incredibly stressed the last time I listened to this trilogy so the only thing I remembered was: the dude doing the Swedish voice was NOT Swedish, and Eva was incredibly annoying. That's literally all I remembered. Made for a good listening experience, though, at least for book 1 and 2. Book 3 does not hold up as well for a reread. I enjoyed it a lot more the first time. But book 1 & 2 are still very good.

I did not care about the characters or their problems anymore. The books no longer featured either of my two favourite characters.

I adored this trilogy. It's unique in its story telling and unique with characters. The audiobook really took it to the next level as well with the use of different voice actors for each character. If you're a fan of sci-fi and aliens, I would highly recommend diving into these books.

Yokits! What a fun trilogy! Sylvain Neuvel has a great writing style and I truly enjoyed reading about robots and aliens and SCIENCE! Please please please write more for this series! It can't possibly be over....

A satisfactory conclusion. I look forward to future works from this author.
Audiobook notes: For some reason the voice of Eva changed with this book and the change was very noticeable (going from a story-appropriate Latinx accent to a sharp, sort of New York accent in this book) and not for the better.

Quite a change in tone from the previous books in the series. What started as a Sci-fi thriller/adventure seemed to transform into a philosophical read with a sci-fi undertone. The thrills and puzzles were still there, but not as prominent as in the first two books. If you look at the last two books, you can definitely notice major change in tone in regards to dialogue. In WG, dialogue was primarily made up of science talk and action, with the major conflict being a race against time to save the planet. But in OH, dialogue is mainly about ethics of racial equality, and the bad guy has suddenly become “humanity” both literally and figuratively. While this isn’t necessarily bad in terms of story or theme, it was just a major change and not what I signed up for when I started the series.
The audiobook was still good (it is definitely the format I would suggest when reading this book), I just found myself spacing out way more often the previous books. And I can’t really recall what exactly happened in terms of plot.
Basically, the rating is a result of being disappointed with the switch in tone . But this was still enjoyable a times.
