A few things.
I think this is my least favorite of the series and yet, it was still a great read.
My biggest complaint is by far the ending. It’s hard to believe that Charlotte and Juliette being the people they were described and built up to be would walk away from the other silos and let them stay the way they were… even without the servers.
Second biggest complaint is that things just didn’t feel fleshed out enough. Darcy lasted such a small fraction of the story. That was annoying. Charlotte shouldn’t have been sent by herself. And Lukas should have had more impact in his death. He was such a central character to just have his death being him flopping over on a radio.
Why would the nanos stay in a cloud over the silos? Wouldn’t they disperse more?
As sci-fi goes, I’m still very pleased with the series.

A fitting end to the trilogy, taking the first two books and finally bringing everything together, and getting a great resolution. Love that the world is wide open for other stories to happen.
