librarianryan 's review for:
Obsidio
by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
4.5 stars
This is an almost perfect ending. The last 50 or so pages are very predictable, but I don’t care!!! I love this series and the end was so lovely. Book 1 is about Kady and Ezra and the attack on Krenza. Plus the destruction of many star cruisers that leaves a vulnerable population on the ship Hypathia. Book 2 is about Nilolas and Hanna and their fight to save the Hemidall space station and wormhole. Book three brings all these characters together, and introduces us to Asha and Rhys. She is a pharmacy tech now acting as a makeshift nurse, and Rhys, a BTU pounder and tech guru who is oblivious to the evil being wrought by the organization for who he works.
Things on Krenza are not well. Many have been massacred in a general genocide. Only the workers needed to mine fuel and the family’s of the miners are left alive. After all, you need some type of hostage to get the miners to continue working. This was supposed to be a quick mission for the BTU but the resistance damaged the only ship with a portable jumpgate. Now supplies are running low, and tension is mounting.
And lest I forget AIDEN. Of course I can not forget AIDEN. He is this generations HAL. He is back and up to his tricks again. He is not as major of a player, but the ending has me hopeful for more.
If you have read the first two books then you know exactly what to expect from book three. It’s a kicka** adventure told through video surveillance, journal entries, digital communications, etc. A lovely addition to book 3 was art work by Marjorie Lu. Over all I quite enjoyed this book. I bought it the day it was out and read most of it in one day. There was more blacked out cursing than I remember from the other books, and I may have a parent angry at me for recommending it to her 11 and 12 year old sons. But we need more books where kids can get the job done. Where they can show that age does not always mean wisdom.
I think this series could make an amazing movie series. And I think it would need to be kept in the format of a court case exposing it’s evidence. It’s been a long time since there were any really great Space Operas.
