I disliked the ending of this series so much that it makes it impossible to reccomend the whole series now. I loved the first two books but this was just not good. I particualry disliked two characters so much it almost made it impossible to finish. If this had been the first book I would not have continued the series. Possible spoilers in the middle of the review. I really enjoyed reading Only Human, the last book in The Themis Files trilogy but less than I did the previous two. The way the book was written, just like the previous two, was very good. It had a bit of action, a bit of suspense and a bit of humor. However (SPOILERS AHEAD), I didn't like the whole angle about human (and alien) rights. Sure, I'm all for equal rights but I don't think it should be in a SciFi book. It felt too much "Hollywood" and too much kitsch, in my opinion. I still look forward to other books by this author, new or related to Themis. 3,9 stars It took me surprisingly long to finish this book, considering how eagerly I anticipated its release. Sadly, this was a much slower paced read than books one and two, and the plot didn't really hold my interest as tightly, either. The second half was better, but over all I have to admit to being a little disappointed. I don't know what exactly I expected, but it was more than I got. However, four stars is by far not a bad rating, and as a standalone I wouldn't have minded as much, I'm sure. I'm happy I finished the series, though. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Pacific Rim meets The Martian in the explosive follow-up to Sleeping Giants (“One of the most promising series kickoffs in recent memory.”—NPR) and Waking Gods (“Pure, unadulterated literary escapism.”—Kirkus Reviews). Brilliant scientist Rose Franklin has devoted her adult life to solving the mystery she accidentally stumbled upon as a child: a huge metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. The discovery set in motion a cataclysmic chain of events with geopolitical ramifications. Rose and the Earth Defense Corps raced to master the enigmatic technology, as giant robots suddenly descended on Earth’s most populous cities, killing one hundred million people in the process. Though Rose and her team were able to fend off the attack, their victory was short-lived. The mysterious invaders retreated, disappearing from the shattered planet . . . but they took the scientist and her crew with them. Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find a devastating new war—this time between humans. America and Russia are locked in combat, fighting to fill the power vacuum left behind after the invasion. Families are torn apart, friends become bitter enemies, and countries collapse in the wake of the battling superpowers. It appears the aliens left behind their titanic death machines so humankind will obliterate itself. Rose is determined to find a solution, whatever it takes. But will she become a pawn in a doomsday game no one can win?

Fuller, and the author, Sylvain Neuvel Advance praise for Only Human “Packing a surprisingly powerful thematic punch, this novel is an addictive blend of science fiction, apocalyptic thriller, and chillingly timely cautionary tale. Two (giant, robotic) thumbs up!”—Kirkus Reviews “Boasting a winning combination of briskly paced action and futuristic dystopia tempered by cautious optimism, Only Human brings a fitting, satisfying end to the Themis Files series.”—RT Book Reviews.

So plotwise, I couldn’t focus much but I’m happy the series is now over. ( )
