An outstanding and an extremely satisfying conclusion to this quartet. The best of the 4 and Wooding managed to land this quartet beautifully. The character conclusions were great as well as how the world has been left.

I will extreme miss both the characters especially the crew as well as the world as they had become comfort things for me.

SPOILERS BELOW:

On the characters, Silo’s whole journey was beautiful and his speech before the charge made me want to join him myself. The couple of Crake and Samandra Bree was also great and I always found the two of them to be perfect for each other. Jez’s storyline also made sense as she finally decided to embrace her Mane side and her calling the Mane’s was such a cool, exhilarating moment. The medal ceremony at the end was also great. Finally, the conclusion of Frey and Trinica’s romance was also great and heart-warming.
