Ending of All Endings, Jan 2 2012
By Jade Zsiros - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dreadnought (Hardcover)
I'm going to include a quote from the journal entry I wrote after I finished this volume:"I was not happy that this was much shorter than all of the others, but it made up almost entirely in content. Almost. I hated and loved the ending at the same time. Note, though, to Mr. Walden: Don't scare your fans like that. I honestly thought Laura was going to kill herself there for a minute at the end. Luckily, though, she didn't. Which is good because Laura is my favorite character, whom we found out in this book has a desktop that says "Han shot first!". I thought that was hilarious.
Then I read the last page.
I very nearly screamed at the top of my lungs every curse word I knew. Which probably wouldn't have made the children at the next restaurant table over very happy. So as soon as I got home I read the online preview for Rogue, and was intrigued. And disappointed because Lucy is still there.
Anyways.
So I'd give Dreadnought a nine point five out of ten, I think. A good three points awarded for the heart attack I almost had on the last page. While I hated it, it certainly caught my attention."
Now, here are the pros and cons, which I have to always have to include:
Cons:
1. Her name is Lucy Dexter. And she could have easily prevented this entire catastrophe.
2. Length. About fifty pages shorter than the previous volume. And, I genuinely felt sorry for the people whom I knew would have to wait for Rogue to come out, because the story seemed just a little less complete.
Pros:
1. THE END. Never have I read a conclusion that made me so surprised in the last two paragraphs. I could not focus for the remainder of the day, and drove friends and strangers insane with talk of a book I many times forgot to mention the title of.
2. The series. Just being a part of it earns it extra points.
3. Poker. Read to find out.
Other notes: This one took on a feel less scifi and more fantasy, with the introduction of Lucy Dexter, who has abilities which I will not spoil, but let's just say they have no scientific backing. Hint, though: look up the Latin meaning of the word Dexter. Then, think of the opposite of that meaning, and translate it into Latin.
