The stunning conclusion to the mind-bending series

Shuos Jedao is awake... ...and nothing is as he remembers. He's a teenager, a cadet-a nobody-in the body of an old man; a general in command of an elite force. And he's the most feared, and reviled, man in the galaxy. Jedao carries orders from Hexarch Nirai Kujen to re-conquer the fractured pieces of the hexarchate. But he has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general, and the Kel soldiers under his command hate him for a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted-by an enemy who knows more about Jedao than he does himself...

This book certainly held my attention - it delivered all the pathos and character drama that the first two books metered out at limited intervals. Also, some great worldbuilding (servitor POV character ftw!!)

Yet I missed the high-octane firefights of the first book, and didn't experience much suspense while I was reading. Most of the remaining mysteries were cleanly explicated (although I think I lost track of some of them along the way) and the plot felt fairly linear. There was also a lot of lampshading that left me uncertain about the parameters of the world and undercut the drama.

I possibly have some issues with Kujen's character, and to a lesser extent Jedao's. In general I am not super fond of stories that delve into villains' tragic backstories, as if evil has a genealogy. (This is a lie, I loved the Voldemort flashback scenes in HBP, but I'm not proud of this love.)

Overall I'm glad I followed this ambitious trilogy to its end, even if neither of the sequels wowed me quite like Ninefox Gambit.

A brilliant and heartbreaking conclusion to the Machineries of Empire Series. I have not enjoyed space opera that much since discovering Anne Leckie’s Imperial Radch books (this is not a comparison ;-) )
So if you like
- brilliant worldbuilding
- moral dilemmas and moral ambiguity
- lots of intrigues and backstabbing
- “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” territory

then you’ll probably like this.

(Oh, and I want more.) ( )

It took a while to get going. This book's whole universe is still a mysterious place, with enigmatic characters doing incomprehensible things. And yet. I couldn't put this book down, once I reached the second half.

Perhaps that's in part because of the basic alienness of the world, that it just seems rife with adventure. Or possibly it's simply that I got used to the techno babble and just wanted to taste more of the texture. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this series, sometimes despite its difficulty, perhaps because of it. ( )

God, this was so good! I can't believe I waited so long to read it, but life happened and I didn't have the attention & focus for reading. It was definitely worth the wait and an incredible end to an incredible series. A welcome relief from the last couple trilogies I read where the final book dragged and bored me, this was on par with the rest of the series, if not better. I can't wait to read Yoon Ha Lee's other works. ( )

These three books were great, set in a strange universe of calendrical warfare. I still can't explain what that is, but that doesn't matter. Just remember Clarke's Law. What made this book extra challenging was the fact that the protagonist exists twice, and at least at the start, is referred to by the same name, no matter which one of them the story currently focuses on. Once again, it all netaly comes together in the end, and makes for a good "final" book. ( )

It is a fitting and compelling conclusion to one of the most striking space operas I’ve ever read.
 
Revenant Gun is a fast, gripping story. Its shifting viewpoints – all seeing some part of the picture, none with a complete view or good insight into other people’s motivations – and potential for betrayals make it feel complex and demanding. At base, though, it’s a thriller crossed with a story about learning to live with consequences you didn’t choose.

Yoon Ha Lee stuck the landing, and in doing so cemented that the Machineries of Empire series is one of the most ambitious and rewarding science fiction series in print.
 
Lee’s Machineries of Empire is one of the finest science fiction achievements of the decade, and deserving of every accolade thrown at it. Machineries of Empire has a reputation for being brain-breaking and imaginative, which it is, but, by its conclusion, it’s also approachable and amusing, warm-hearted, even as it’s sinking its claws into your back, funny, furious, and endlessly creative. Revenant Gun, like the volumes before it, comes with my highest recommendation.
