You'll find my review for the previous book here somewhere. But if you're looking into the third book, you've probably read the second. And if you've read the second (and much else in Nathan Lowell's Solar Clipper universe), you've also probably thought, "Whoa... that was dark."

While I won't call Finwell Bay Otto's redemption arc, it's certainly where he finds his way again, and that makes much of my struggle with the previous book worthwhile. 

I enjoyed the new locations, characters, and dynamics at play. And the resolution felt more organic and satisfying than either book before. If you've debated continuing after book two, jump into Finwell Bay and give it a few chapters.

Great end to a great trilogy

Nathan Lowell concludes his South Coast trilogy with his usual writing style and stories. If you are thinking of reading this book, then start with book one, then book two. This book ties everything together nicely. It seemed the book ended without addressing a few issues, but overall a very satisfactory read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap-up to the Shaman's Tales. It's in the far future, but not really typical sci-fi other than people living on another planet. This book could be read alone, but would be better understood if read at the end of the series.
