From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mold and has been called "stylistically mesmerizing" and "out-of-this-world-awesome."
Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza--but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion? Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys--an old flame from Asha's past--reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.
A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF 2018
I wanted to like this, I really did, but it felt like the formula for Illuminae and Gemina (which were already kind of similar) copy-pasted onto new characters, with the stakes upped even more. Obsidio also relied a lot more on surveillance transcripts, and that dragged the book down some. I would have much rathered leaving Rhys and Asha out, and focusing on the characters already in play rather than adding a whole new cast.
