The Saints of Salvation

Compared to the other two books this one feels like it was perhaps a bit rushed, having said that though, it's a Peter F. Hamilton book so still excellent

I wanted to like this a lot more. Really liked the first book - and I loved the way Peter Hamilton managed to hide from us the main premise of the series until that final jaw-dropping book 1 revelation (and the way he used the whole “alien monsters after your BRAINZ” trope in such an original way.

A trilogy like this though - it lives or dies by the conclusion - and to me, this final volume ran of steam a little. It was still enjoyable - and it was epic on a scale that few authors can pull off, but which Peter Hamilton generally excels at - and it wasn't bad - just a little underwhelming, and, for me, a bit too long and drawn out. Things like the reveal of where the saints had been, and what they'd been up to all this time... felt a little anti-climactic, and there was a touch too much of the conveniently develop better tech to beat the previously unbeatable bad guys with trope - which first came in in Salvation Lost.

All in all, a decent series, but, IMO, not his best.

Good ending, much fun, felt like some convenient issues appearing out of nowhere to give tension, though. Not my favourite of Hamilton's series but it is still good.

What a spectacular ending, perfect from the first page to the last. By far the best and an amazing ending to this series

Despite it being a bit explainy around the middle, it was a great conclusion to the epic Olynx saga.
