I read this book immediately after "Edenborn". It's a good conclusion to the series. My biggest issue with this book is the time, We start off the Black Ep is gone, and those lucky few that managed to get cyrogenically frozen are been waked up. There are about 1000 people at the start of the book, almost all rich, almost all white. Unfortunately, the author doesn't know proportion. Four Bars for 1000 people? There is so much discontent they need more than 3 security officers? Living in a small town, this doesn't work. Also, the time just goes by too fast without reference. We start off with one city, then all of a sudden, the French want their art back- when did the French get thawed?

As like the previous book, the plot is in all directions. It works, but it can be a bit distracting. But, overall, it works, and the ending is quite satisfactory. ( )

Not as satisfying as the previous books in the series. ( )

Upon finishing Everfree, I feel a sense of complete satisfaction with the series and with each book on its own. Nick Sagan's style of writing is thought-provoking and completely thorough. This book, as well as the other two, continued his tradition of presenting new challenges for his characters and resolving old circumstances and kept everything fresh and interesting. I find it hard to put into words how much I've enjoyed reading all three and how disappointed I am that Mr. Sagan does not yet have any more novels for me to delve into. Hopefully there will be much more to come. ( )
