Great ending to the Spatterjay series. I love Cormac novels but Spatterjay trilogy is really fun. There’s a lot of new world building you get. Also, I’m usually a big proponent of publication reading but I would recommend reading this trilogy back to back. Seeing Vrell’s development is great!
Spatterjay, the virus, Old Captains, Prador, drones, sub-minds, bees (!), reifications, the Graveyard, Jain, Prador War crimes, etc, all get some page time and it’s fascinating!
I did have some frustrations with book 1 and 2, they felt a bit formulaic in some parts but enjoyable nonetheless.
