Fantastic books, loved the last book as well. Don't know why many people have a problem with this book. I thought it was an excellent ending to a fantastic series of books. (

Although I enjoyed this end of series, I did struggle with it at times. Particularly the beginning. Adam just isn't very interesting and the long beginning about what happened to him and his romance I kept drifting off. Things improved when we went back to the other characters. Like many others I was a bit disappointed in the end though. Although the surprise that this was really science fiction all along was fun. (

What a fantastic series this has been. I don't remember the last time I read something so imaginative, so filled with insights into the nature of humanity and life, and so entertaining. All of the characters felt very well drawn and many had significant development, even over the course of this last book. Highly recommended, but of course start with book 1 in the series (Senlin Ascends). (

I'm not sure what it was about this one, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the earlier books and that's strange because I usually like the last book in a series (is this the last?) better than the others. I was often confused while listening. Everything was moving so fast, constant action. So much so that when the characters "split" in the end I didn't know who went where with whom. The technical aspects were very confusing, and I don't understand why Marya was so angry with Senlin. Also it seemed strange to have such a long beginning with only Adam.

Still the writing was great, the characters were great, it just kind of was a big mess of great things that didn't really work for me. I'm giving the book 3 stars because I'm assuming some of my confusion is from missing things while I was listening and doing something else at the same time. (
