'Leviathan Falls' by James S.A. Corey

The good

  • A satisfying conclusion to the series that ties up most of the loose ends. The story comes full circle.

  • The finale has a sense of epic scale.

  • We get to see our favorite characters one more time.

  • Introduces one new badass character who is fun to watch.

The not so good

  • In a series that is 9 (!) books long, and has delightfully taken its time to deeply explore really interesting topics, something about this last one felt slightly rushed: as if the primary goal was to be done, rather than to tell the story.

  • We don’t get as many interactions with our favorite characters as in the previous books. That makes it all the more melancholy to say goodbye.

  • Although the loose ends are mostly wrapped up, I found myself wishing we got a tiny bit more detail on some of them.
