Review 4 of 5 Stars

This last book in the Bern series was interesting. The series wrapped up well with Molly and her friends overcoming insurmountable odds to save the day. It reminds me of the old Saturday matinee adventures, but I digress. I really enjoyed the back story on the wadi, but felt some of the other flashbacks broke the story up in a way that wasn’t necessarily conducive to a smooth reading experience. There was some interesting information, but some character backgrounds were more interesting than others. I loved the little reveal at the end regarding the Bern Seer. I enjoyed watching the bad guys get what was coming to them, etc. Altogether it was a fun sci-fi action adventure series and I enjoyed it. The characters throughout the series were well done and easy to relate to. I especially loved Cat, Molly’s parent’s friend from long ago. In fact, I generally like what Hugh Howey does with characters for the most part. He creates characters with flaws. Sometimes those flaws are significant, but that doesn’t necessarily keep you from feeling for them. Walter is a good example of this for the Bern series. He’s a character you would love to hate for the many things he does, but he’s so socially challenged that you almost can’t help feeling sorry for him and pulling for him to do the right thing. If you enjoy a good action adventure chase across the universe, then you may very well enjoy these book. That’s going to wrap it up on this series. So many books to read and so little time recently…
