The Empress of Earth by Melissa Scott

4.0

This may be the only trilogy I've ever read where the second book was my favorite, but I still really enjoyed this last installment, and thought the series as a whole was wonderful. The Empress of the Earth builds on some of the feminist threads that emerged in the second book, while also giving the reader much more time with Julie and Denis. This was the first book that Silence's two husbands felt like characters in their own right, not just seen through her perspective. The plot worked to a satisfying conclusion for both the smaller story of this book and the overarching story of the trilogy.
