I really enjoyed this book, and the series. The author has created enjoyable and likable characters who live in an original and interesting world. The story is action packed, entertaining and believable in the context of the world he has built. Audiobook: I listened to the audiobook version. Bronson Pinchot narrated. He did a wonderful job. He is very good at accents and creating individual voices for the different characters. I didn't recognize him from his acting stints, but I would recommend him as a narrator. Once one reads past the first few chapters this is a good action story: superhero fights, honorable and heroic good guys, dastardly bad guys, Perils of Pauline situations and, in the end, the conquest of Evil.The first few chapters will, for some readers, be so flawed they will be tempted to discontinue. The worst is a false portrayal of former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) as petty and vindictive, and, concerning his administration, and incompetent and ill informed administrator. The author has chosen to waste part of his narrative to expound his Rightist political views, and his mis-painting of FDR comes straight from the demonology of his political fellows, but lacks historical basis.I presume the nominal excuse for this off-putting digression is to bring forward the character (Francis) who is romantically attached to the main character (Faye); Francis is otherwise marginal to the biggest action. But the two romantic threads are so often forgotten that the comings-together at story end are as unconvincing as those that complete a 19th century melodrama (and here lack the amelioration of campiness). So the excuse fails: The novel would have been much improved with significant cuts.This is the third volume of a trilogy. While the convention is for three books (at least), the story arch would have done better as a duology, excising needless distractions from the third volume and collapsing the pre-boss-fight action in the second and in parts of the third. The rating here is for the third volume; the series as a whole would rate higher.

Liked how it all ended - good and epic end to a fun trilogy.

A satisfying end to the series. Loose ends are tied.

Quite a bit of graphic violence. Lots of blood.
