patlo 's review for:

The Relentless Legion by J.S. Dewes
3.5
adventurous funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a solid wrapup (?) to a good trilogy. It's got some intriguing ideas and I *LOVE* the use of wit and humor in the series - that's hard to write well, and Dewes does a great job with it. The third book has some overly convenient plot resolutions that fall a bit flat, but it's an entertaining book and a good series.

As a pitch - The Expanse meets Game of Thrones' Night Watch - it falls short in execution, but still a good idea and a good read. I'd recommend it if it's your thing.

Also, this may be just me - I read all 3 books on audiobook and they were great this way - but they may be better in print/ebook form.
