“Every story needs its hero. And its villain. And its monster.”
Are you the hero, the monster, or the villain??
What a way to end a series. All flash bangs and fireworks aside, this ending was about as near to perfect as you can make them. Another five stars. Not that you guys weren’t anticipating that.
Sorry, I’m not more of a mystery.
Obsidio starts where we’ve left - stuck between an endless void and an enemy bent on killing everyone. Question is, which way do you turn? Well, clearly not open space because that will get you nowhere but a quick death. So the crew turns back home, hoping that there will be something left to save.
And all told in the lovable dossier style that we’ve come to love. There are some new added elements, including a small comic style section that I personally loved. Also, a little more surveillance footage, which is a bummer, but hey, you can’t win them all.

Side note *What is it about Aidan quotes that make them so good?*
If there are any questions about this series coming back, I think the ending answers that. A resounding ‘NO’. Sad though. I love these characters andI’m hoping that I might see them one day in film. Just sending that out into the universe now.
I love how you never really know what is going to happen in the end. Yes, we know a few characters who live. It’s all given away in the first two books, but the rest was left up for grabs. Since I’ve never read these authors before this series, I wasn’t really sure if they were going to be the happy ending kind or not. I’m not telling you which it is… you’re just going to have to read this series to find out. Guess what though, it all works out in the overall story.
My only negative would be on the new characters. No surprise, the first two books were based around two different love interests. If you expected something else… well, that sucks. I appreciate that Kristoff and Kaufman stuck with it, but the two new characters fell a little flat for me. I can’t be surprised. These two authors have pulled off numerous characters with excellent personalities. To make something entirely new again, well you had to give somewhere. Again, it could just be me.
I really don’t have more to say. I don’t want to go into extreme depth and give the story away. If you haven’t jumped in yet, what are you waiting for? This is the new series of our lifetime. Something I think the book community will be talking about for a while. Starting another countdown till their next series comes out. I think I only have a year right???? While I wait I can start venting on the book I just finished, which will happily be the next book review. Be prepared for that. Until then… happy reading.
