schneefink: the Life Dial being held by two hands and glowing (Guardian Life Dial)
I just finished "The Hyena and the Hawk", the third book of the Echoes of the Fall trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and I have a lot of thoughts jumbling around in my head. Which is a good sign! But if I wait for them to settle down I'll forget to write about it so here.

Briefly: I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the characters and their relationships, the worldbuilding was cool, and the plot was exciting. There were just a few elements I wasn't sure about, mostly about the colonization narrative.

Maniye and Hesprec )

Asman|der and Venat )

Loud Thunder and Broken Axe and Shyri and more )

Worldbuilding )

The villains )

Colonization )
I'm curious what others think about this aspect in particular.

Soo I'm pretty sure I'll think of stuff I forgot later but anyway. I'm planning to request it for Yuletide (but my "nominate for Yuletide" list is already pretty long this year and it's February, so I'll see what happens until September.)
