Book Reviews of the Victory Conditions (Vatta's War)Customer Review: Last gasp of the muse Summary: 4 StarsIf you've already read the other four books in the series you don't really need a review to decide on wether to purchase the final novel: you're buying.
But I too felt that Ms. Moon's muse was on the plane to Hawaii with a Costco sized tub of sun screen before the climatic battle scene was written. After all the build up for the villain in the previous 4 excellent novels the end came much like that of an over aged pet the vet says can't be expected to make the cross country move with your family. Alone in a cardboard box, death confirmed by a dull thumping sound as the car goes around a large curve on the way home. No sense of a worthy foe vanquished after a penultimate battle.
There are many gems in the book but the ending left me unsatisfied.
So perhaps this review should be about "should someone read the series". I know some people wait until the whole series is published before they read it. From that perspective I feel the series is worth the investment. Ms. Moon has created a rich back story to some of her previous work and I feel the sum of the previous work and this work is greater than the sum of the pieces.
I just wish the new editor had called Ms. Moon and told her to contact the muse and tell it to get its fuzzy butt back home for some more work on the final battle.
