Well, I'm done. Oh man, I don't know how to feel. I'm kind of mad about the ending. But not really.
I get that K. A didn't want to end it as a happy ever after and with a message off "War never really ends". But it was a bit over done. Half of the last book was spent giving out happy or at least satisfying endings. Marco was a celebrity having the time of his life. Jake was training morph capable soldiers. Ax had his own ship and was his own Prince. Tobias kinda retired. And Cassie was an environmentalist and Hork Bajir advisir and all that. Great stuff. Should've ended there.
But then you want them all to get together again and keep fighting (minus Cassie) and have that one last hurrah and the Elfangor throwback of Jake saying "Ram that Blade Ship!"? Great. That's awesome. But there was no need to add in a huge new enemy and there was no reason to kill off Ax. I mean, what the hell? I'd be glad to know that they're just going around cleaning up any renegade Yeerks. They really didn't need to give Ax such a shitty ending and imply that it was a fight they weren't going to win. But anyway....I'm glad I came back to the series and finished it after so many years. I'll forever be a fan.
I might move on to another of Applegates's series now. Or try to find Michael Grant's sequel series to Gone.
