Everything coming together. Lovely characters with a good dose of serendipity.
One thing I find annoying is that Jahir is not getting enough credit. Especially by the emperor. He never even speaks to him. ( )

All the threads start tying together and accelerating (even more); some (more) plots are uncovered (Second/Command-East is a real b*d). Serious destruction on several levels, and serious rebuilding - the new Chatcaavan Empire is going to be an interesting place. I wonder if the Source and the Vault have been in touch, or if they're going to have to figure out how to recombine. And the Alliance, and the Eldritch Empire, will have their own changes to deal with… But no sign of the characters from the other Pelted series - I was hoping Alysha would show up (and show Vasiht'h her claws…). That aside, an ending worthy of this series - absolutely amazing. The philosophies are as fascinating as the space battles. More! ( )
