Meredith Gale has to make contact with the Architect before the Adversary’s agent, the transformed Abernathy, reaches her and ruins the millennia of planning designed to save the Earth. In order to accomplish this, she and her ragtag band of friends have to unify the scattered survivors of the multiverse to oppose the Adversary. Along the way, new allies will be made while new opponents do their best to stop her. If she fails, not only will the last of humanity be wiped away, but the Earth won't survive the collapse of the universe.

"I really don't like this, not one bit" -Meredith
Revisado: 03-05-21
The first 2 books were wonderful. This one was just...eh. The title of my review is a quote from the book that is used over and over again. I got it the first time, no need to repeat so many times.
Many of the encounters with the Adversaries minuons seemed the be poorly thought out and either anti climatic, very predictable, outright boring or all 3 combined.
The book was good in the way that it completed the story of the first two books, but it was nowhere near as good as the first two.
The biggest issues I had with this book are below.
The narrator was good, but there were times when she was narrating Meredith using Cho's voice. it could get a bit confusing. Other than that, the narrator did a great job.
WARNING: SORTA SPOILERS BELOW
About half way through, maybe more, it is explained how the Architect built the collectors and began its plan. Then towards the end, the Architect suddenly needs the help of human hands? This seems like a huge mistake. How could the Architect have done all that it did before bringing 2 billion people to the version of earth and then suddenly be next to useless and NEED the help of humans to complete its mission?
The collectors. There's a bunch of them and they are all designed the same way. Theybhave living spaces in them as well as other amenities, why are the 2 billion not taking up residence in them? It doesnt make since to create new habitats from scratch when these collectors are readily available and contain everything they need to start over. Sure, eventually they may need to expand and venture out to build additions to the collectors, but starting that way seems like a huge waste of time.
The finale battle with the Adversarie was flat out lame. The author(s) even thought so as they wrote it into the book with Meredith saying it was anticlimactic. You know you're not trying very hard when you write it into the story that way.

Amazing story, couldnt stop listening
Revisado: 08-27-20
This book was one of the best that I have listened to in a while. The characters were very well developed at the right times. The idea of the book is, in my opinion, spot on with American culture. Neil writes some very clever twists into the book that make you realize that he has already told you the ending of the book way before you get there, but you don't realize it until you get there. It is not often that I listen to or read a book that can catch me off guard with a twist like that. Very good book. I will likely re-listen to it.

boring. whats the point?
Revisado: 07-22-20
this story starts out ok, but doesnt get any better. there is very little back story to explain how the characters got where they are. the story is drawn out too much and could have beed acomplished in half the time. for the price (free) it wasnt a complete wast of time.
