surprisingly moving
4 stars
This whole series is gloriously stupid, but there are some very well written moments that are quite moving in this one.

Empire and poetry
4 stars
This was a very unique and original story. The author did some really cool things with language that I really appreciated.
I love books that are critical of empire, and this book certainly falls into that camp.

It ties up all the existing threads and questions about its world so beautifully, that reading the series again with the knowledge of how it ends doesn't spoil the story, but is its own kind of pleasure.
