SF/F Review: Radiate (Lightless Trilogy #3) by C.A. Higgins https://t.co/1yPtj1jfL9 Short Review: 7.5 out of 10 (1/3)— garik16 (@garik16) June 25, 2017
I've previously reviewed Lightless and Supernova on my twitter account, and have been pretty excited for Radiate, which is the concluding novel in the trilogy. A spoilery review will be after the jump, but for those who haven't read the first two novels, I gave them an 8 and an 8.5 respectively. The Novels are very ambitious, dealing with scientific concepts such as entropy, scientific forces, and AIs.Short Review (cont): The Finale to the Trilogy is a strong SF love story, but doesn't resolve well the Series Plot arc satisfactorily (2/3)— garik16 (@garik16) June 25, 2017
The Novels also deal with concepts of revolution against a dystopian government, how far one should go in pursuit of freedom, and how far should loved ones of revolutionaries be willing to go in support of those revolutionary ideals to support those loved ones. It's a tricky balance for the story to strike, and the first two novels had issues at times balancing the SciFi themes with the other themes. Radiate is no different in that respect
