In the final installment of this amazing trilogy, I continued to be amazed by the vast range of story and themes all coming from this one universe. Each book was so different from the others and I can confidently say that this was the weirdest by far (weird is good) though it was also the most confusing in a way that had me a little annoyed at times when it didn't quite feel like it was supposed to be as confusing as it was until looking back on it afterwards.
I never would have expected after reading the second book that in this one

a strong focus on the alien lifeform containing so many different stolen personalities and the philosophical/moral implications of that would be something that I found so interesting and enjoyable.

It very much improved upon the flaws of the previous book such that I grew a better appreciation of both. I loved the characters in this installment so much more fun and lovable; the dynamic between the crows being especially amusing. For me, I felt the emotion of the ending to fall a little flat but I would guess that's more a me-thing than a writing-thing. I think I don't quite agree with all the philosophical conclusions of this story the way I did previously but again it's good to be exposed to differing views and that is very much the core of this trilogy. This one really got me thinking about what I believe and questioning even harder what it means to be sentient. What a way to wrap up the best books I have ever read. I love it so much.
