I could read a hundred books set in this universe and still want to know more about it. Like so many of my favourite spec fic stories there's just the right amount of possibility of reality for me to look at the future and wonder if this might be where we end up.

White reaches through the pages of this book and punches you in the face with an array of deep emotions (not literally, Corey is a very nice person). I find the characters to be powerfully written with strong, distinct voices. The worldbuilding is solid and intriguing. I'm really bad at writing helpful reviews. I just want to flail a bit and then go read the series over from the start. ( )

A good conclusion to the trilogy, although there is enough tantalising opening for more books in this series. ( )

The third and final of the void witch trilogy rattles along at the same breakneck pulpy pace. All in all, an enjoyable little set.

The necessary 18 rating would probably make the audience too niche for TV to touch it, but the pulp styling lends it to "Firefly-now-that-you're-older"

Void Black Shadow saw Mars reflect with horror on her death count in Killing Gravity; by the end of book two, she’d done far worse. In Static Ruin, I was expecting Mars’s guilt to play a pivotal role – and it does, to a point. For the first time, we see Mars exercise self-control and actively avoid mass-murder as her response to threats.

Instead, the drama comes from confronting her past. It makes Static Ruin a quieter, tenser affair than its predecessors.

And if I’m honest, it didn’t work as well for me. Unlike the first two novellas, this one felt rushed; for me, what it really needed was more space to land its blows. It’s neither a final bite-size serve of scorching action, nor entirely convincing as an emotional harrowing. But it does give Mars closure, of sorts – and I’m glad to have been introduced to this intriguing universe. I think I’d just like to have seen more of it.
