Our view
“The Last Emperox” closes the Interdependency trilogy with the quick wit, scheming and momentum of the earlier volumes. The ending divides readers: some find it fitting, if less happy than hoped, while others feel the author settles several major characters’ fates too easily and in a hurry. Some also feel that one abrasive fan favourite is pushed too far. Not a book to pick up without the first two.
