Lords of Uncreation

Enjoyed this series a lot, there were some dips but overall worth the conclusion.

Around the halfway point, the story seizes hold of you and pulls you swiftly toward the conclusion. A fantastic ending to an excellent trilogy.

SO much rambling.

Superb conclusion to an excellent space opera trilogy.

Kind of disappointed in the last book in this series. This one has expanded POVs that I didn't care about, confusing action scenes, and it just felt like a lot of padding. I pretty much skimmed the last 50 pages just to get it over with but I give the whole series 4 stars as a whole and hopefully I'll understand it more on a reread and will give it 5 stars!

I reviewed this novel for the Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather:

Look, this is the third book in the series. You're not reading this review if you're curious to know what it's about, you want to know if Tchaikovsky can stick the landing. And, boy, have I got good news for you.

Lords Of Uncreation triumphantly crowns one of the best space opera series of recent years. There are exciting action sequences, both cosmic and hand to hand (the set piece almost exactly halfway through the book is spectacular). The implacable, unknowable, hostile aliens from another dimension aren't a disappointing damp squib (hello, The Expanse!). The characters we've come to know through the last two books all get their fair share of screen time, and their storylines mostly tie up satisfactorily. It's a great conclusion to a great series, and some of the most fun I've had with SF in a good while.
