Summary
The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location.
The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world's stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held. The Hives' facade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that facade is slipping away.
Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone - Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints - scrambles to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war.

Gripping story and incredible performance
I find these books very dense and difficult to follow in places (I'm not terribly familiar with the details of the Iliad and Odyssey which probably doesn't help) but the story is interesting and I love the world-building.
The narrator's performance is fantastic, differentiating between so many strange and different characters and portraying a wide range of emotions and emotional expression is a very skilled job and he nailed it

Flawless ending to an amazing series
I cannot believe how well executed, thorough and spectacular the end to this series is. Sticking the landing on something as complex as Terra Ignota seemed so difficult and yet here it is, we could not have asked for better or more from both author and VA.

Couldn't be better
The use of different - mainly British - accents was superb. It is a difficult text on paper and was made perfectly comprehensible by the reading.

perhaps the stars
I read a piece recently about needing books that make us want to make a better world. To fix the world we have and work towards being better and kinder. This is a book like that. This whole series is, picking apart people and motivation and humanity and examining and making you think with philosophy and story and example. I want to read and re read I feel like there will always be more to find
