It’s been a few months since I first read Reaper but I keep getting drawn back and rereading the ending. It may be one of the best things I have ever read.

It brings everything together in such an amazing way. Rereading the series I’ve seen threads of it introduced almost as far back as the very beginning and it all comes together in an explosive way. The long term plotting is something that I just have to admire but the writing is amazing as well. It builds up nicely, the tension is amazing and then it breaks into what is honestly one of my favourite moments in literature. I really like epic moments and the series is full of them but this blows them all away. If you are a writer then study this series to learn because there’s so many lessons in so many things here.

Just the ending alone would make this book a must read but good news! There’s a whole other novel before it.

It’s got a nice slow start with everyone recovering from the aftermath of the last book. I really liked it. As the characters in the book remark themselves, everything has been a race against time, with the ever present need to advance that it’s nice to see them just living their lives for a while. You feel they earned the break. And then of course comes the action, which is as good as ever. It’s a book that knows how to properly pace itself and I’m amazed that ten books in we’re still learning new and pertinent things about the world and the characters within it. And then of course comes the ending. Have I mentioned the amazing ending yet?

This book was a delight to read and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
