Empirium book5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I’ll definitely do a re-read of all three books someday though, so I can get the full picture, because I’m sure there are some things I missed due to waiting at least a year between each book. Fifty pages in I nearly put the book down and thought about doing a re-read, but that’s close to 1200 combined pages in the previous two books, so I decided to forge on through. However, this is the second sequel in a row where the author, in my opinion, breaks the unspoken rule where the writer must give little hints of the major plot points from the previous book within the first 50-100 pages as a little refresher. This bob-and-weave between two different timelines and multiple perspectives (though it does stay in third person throughout) might be confusing and overwhelming in most situations, but Legrand masterfully blends this story together to make it cohesive and comprehensible throughout. This is a very large cast story, especially since it transcends two different timelines, and in this final installment I believe you get more perspectives than ever before. If you’ve read the previous two books in this trilogy, you expect an epic conclusion, and Legrand does not disappoint. I’ll be sure and mark the section with spoilers in big print. Most of it will be spoiler-free, but I’ve got some opinions and I would really like to share them. ![]() ![]() This review will, however, contain some spoilers. This is the final book in the series, so I don’t feel the need to post a summary, but I just wanted to do a brief review. ![]()
