The Evolutionary Void

Executive Summary: A good, but not great conclusion to a good, but not great trilogy. 3.5 Stars.Audio book: I really like John Lee, especially for these Commonwealth books. Another excellent job here.Full ReviewI think this book wraps things up pretty nicely, but I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as [b:The Temporal Void 3437328 The Temporal Void (Void, #2) Peter F. Hamilton https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357349093s/3437328.jpg 3478338]. That book heavily revolved around Edeard's story, which is really more fantasy than sci-fi and I found very enjoyable. But I guess I grew tired of it, because those parts seemed to drag a lot more in this one.It could be that once Mr. Hamilton tied all the stories together in the last book, I just wanted things to move ahead to a conclusion, and it felt like it was taking too long to get there.There is a bit more convergence in this one, and characters like the delivery man, who felt completely extraneous in the first two books finally mattered. Sort of.Most of the other characters are great, and especially like the ones from the original series. I thought Gore Burnelli was especially great. His snark is excellent. And of course Paula is one of my favorites as well.Overall I enjoyed this book, though I didn't enjoy this series nearly as much as I did the Commonwealth Duology. That said, I'm looking forward to checking out his newest Commonwealth book in the near future.
