I really like the way space is done in this series. It seems very realistic and it was fun to get back to. Shattered Spear is yet another excellent book in the series and gives us some more insight into both the Syndigs and Enigmas.

I really loved this series, but I was very disappointed in the ending. One of the outstanding plot points that I was really looking forward to seeing resolved ended up being taken care of within the last 5 pages of the book. This felt incredibly rushed and lazy to me and I would've loved to see it fleshed out.

Satisfying ending to the drama section, I've got several questions about the sci fi end of things, though, but maybe those will be resolved at a later point in another series?

I like the theme of this arc. Life is hard. We did what we had to survive and have many regrets. We can do better and this is how... moment by moment, with considered thoughtfulness and self review.

On the one hand, it appears to be a foregone conclusion in all of the Jack Campbell novels I've read so far that the good guys will win, in some fashion. That means reading through the books is more about seeing how they win, rather than whether they'll win. This was still fun though, seeing sub-plots come to a head, and it was a nice change to have the enigma aliens back in the mix as an antagonist. Looks like Syndicate ISS officers have a pretty short career span in this new age though...
