I’ve read a couple of negative reviews about the ending of this novel because of the way it wraps up the initial trilogy. While, I’m not a huge fan of Deus Ex Machina (heh) as a plot device, it neatly wraps up the biggest plot lines while leaving a couple of dangling threads that are easily woven into future stories. There were some different choices made both from the print and audio versions, but I didn’t hate the novel.
