If you like Scalzi, and his style, this story will fit right in. The trilogy is fun, full of excitement, and, like most Scalzi stories... over too quickly. Guess I’ll go read the Old Man’s War series again 😜

Scalzi must have hired a middle school child to write the ending, it ruined the whole trilogy. Don’t waste your time on any of them, this guy is on drugs and out to lunch.

Not a great conclusion to the 3-part series. By Scalzi’s own afterword he seems to struggle finishing stories and just bangs them out in the middle of the night. The Last Emperox felt this way in the end - banged out and slapped together with duct tape with lots of loose strings hanging outside the strips of tape. A very messy package. An unsatisfying conclusion to an otherwise interesting human universe described in the first two books that obviously kept me coming back for more.

Fantastically entertaining, incredible characters, wonderful plot, and excellent dialog. Where is my Kiva?

Clever story idea. Scalzi’s prose wears thin with too many variations on “you’re not wrong” and “yet here we are”.

I loved the entire series. I laughed. I cried. I was moved. OK, maybe I didn't cry. A phenomenal ending. Thank you, Scamperbeasts for allowing your human time to write this.

Scalzi really delights. The ending was excellent; I’m going to re-read them all soon.

All three were great books but the final was the best. Unexpected and enjoyable.

Very childish book, barely young adult reading level. I only read it to find out the end of the story, a failing of my own. The author’s clumsy excuse for turning in his book late was a thinly veiled elitist rant against our current President. Have your free speech, etc. etc. but I no longer need to pay for your drivel.

I cannot believe John Scalzi pulled it off. This is an awesome ending to an awesome series. I should have more faith considering I have reread Lock In and Head On over a dozen times ( this is slightly influenced by living in the DMV where they are set ). John Scalzi really understands that each end is just another beginning and there are no HEA but there are truly good people out there ( This can also be seen in his Old Man's War series). I blame his background as a Cinema Critic and a journalist. Two careers that expose you to the best and worst of the human species. And I blame Kristi and Athena. From my experiences with marriage and family, Kristi and Athena put up with Scalzi 's crap, so us lucky readers can get the sanitized Scalzi. And let us be real here, a steady stream of awesome books. That was 4.5+ hours were I did not have to think about my crises. And now I get to REREAD the book - fun activity with this many plot and character surprises.
