*** minor spoilers for other books in the series ***

Ahoy there mateys!!  This is the third and final book in the Chaotic Orbits series of novellas.  I enjoyed book one, adored book two, and found this book to be just okay.  Most people will be upset that there is no happy-ever-after here.  Aye, the ending is a cliffhanger even though it is a last book.  There is no payoff for the romance aspect.  I actually thought the ending was rather realistic, if surprising.  I rather liked it.

My problem with the book is the whole saving the world thing.  Ada’s part in this is boring.  Finding out who she works for and why was rather boring.  I missed her audacity and being ahead of everyone else.  She does, of course, do more than what she says her goal is.  I just didn’t care.  She would have failed without help.  But Rian isn’t the help she used.  That bothered me.  I wanted to see Rian and Ada work together more.  There is a little bit of that but Rian is completely overwhelmed when things do not go to plan.  I just don’t think a man with his skills would be that useless.

Even though there were flaws, the book is fast paced and I really enjoyed the audiobook format.  Plus it is another series finished.  Arrr!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Side note: Publishers stop comparing books to other things they are nothing like.  They claim the series is “perfect for fans of Murderbot novels and the Wayfairers series.”  Ugh!  These are NOTHING like either of those.
