Light of Impossible Stars by Gareth L. Powell
3.0
I liked the first two books a lot and was certain that the conclusion would be as great. It turned out to be different.
This book made me feel the author lost the sense of proportions. Too many times he repeats the things we know already about the characters and thier motivations. Some of the heroes of the book turned out to be fine and believable, but then some others, both new and old went over the limit of what you could assume. Thier actions/thinking getting into maximalist/extremes or bit of stereotypes.
Also a lot of interesting and intriguing details and openings of the previous books are developed and not all the developments/explanations worked with me. At some point I had a thought: "too much, just too much crazy stuff too assume. I am done here
