The last book in the Architects series. At first, I was going to be dismissive of this book as it seemed all Adrian was going to do was talk about unspace and the search for the bad guys who dwelled in there. I didn't think I could take 600 pages of that. But then all the twists and turns started and the book was just a great conclusion to the trilogy. My brain did cramp a little at some of the descriptions of unspace but only a little. I'm amazed that Adrian can keep his theories straight.
Idris, our main Int, is on a quest to find out who is sending the architects against the planets. Olli, my favorite character after Idris, has been cursed/blessed with helping Aklu. Solace is caught up in a mutiny amongst her own people. Kit tries to keep Idris alive. All the alien races are so well defined in this series and they seem utterly alien.
Wish there more but this was a good conclusion. One of those books I would stay up late reading then curse myself for reading too quickly.
Agreed.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
