This book is pretty much exactly what you would expect it to be. Whether that is good or bad is of course up to you but since this is the fourth book in The Second Dark Ages series which in turn is a spin-off from The Kurtherian Gambit series and it is unlikely that you are going to read this book unless you have read the other ones then it is probably good, very very good.
There are not really that much to say about this book. It is the one that ties together the story arcs of the two series. To some extent it can be said to be telling the same story as Life Goes On but from the viewpoint of Michael. That didn’t really bother me too much. It adds a lot of detail that I actually missed from Life Goes On.
The usual ass kicking, dialogue and all that stuff that we have become used to from Michael Anderle is there and best of all, The Queen Bitch is back! It is easy but pleasant reading.
I have to say that I am quite eager to see where the story goes from here. The ending of the book made it quite clear that the story continues so … bring it on … please.

Perfect!
I’m glad I got in to this whole series late and didn’t have to wait too long for the last book to come out! This whole world is some of the best I’ve ever read!

Much of it seems like a rehash of events covered in other books, but I still enjoyed it.

Awesome!!
This book was great. I love how the two series ended and Michael and BA are finally together again. I am very excited for the next series!

This was a good spinoff series, even if I couldn't keep up with all the characters. I'm kind of surprised that they did the reunion in this series rather than the main series, though. It works so no complaints.

Better finale
*******. Spoiler Alert******
This volume was a much better finale than Life Goes On.
But I still have some issues with the way things were handled.
Michael Anderle spent a lot of time with Giles and what about Sabine? She and Demon disappeared after Bethany Anne arrived. I see so many missed opportunities here. Sabine was mentioned once in the warehouse in China when they collected the ship parts and was never mentioned again. She just faded in the background.
Reading this book we are able to see some of the missing chunks from Life Goes On but still is not enough.
I think Michael Anderle is stretched out thin with so many spin-off books. He lost his focus in the main story and neglected the continuity of the main plot. I didn’t see this in early books. His later books could not stand alone or be read out of order. I read them in order and got confused with so many tangent lines.
The subplots were not resolved in a satisfying way and left me feeling like something was missing or either hoping that something else was going to happen.
I’m struggling to decide if I’ll continue with the next phase of the story.
Maybe in the future, but right now, I don’t think I want to be that disappointed after investing so much time and emotions into a series.
