"The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability." Normally, I wouldn't be writing this review because most of the things I have to say about the series are usually covered in my first review, but right now I'm feeling so much emotion the only two options are to either scream for the better part of an hour or write this review, so here we are.The only other explanation for writing the review for this book isIm kinda lukewarm on the final installment of this trilogy. And, in fact, while the concept of the whole trilogy has been pretty cool, I feel like ever since the first 100 pages or so of the first book, it has been kind of trending down hill. I wouldnt say that it is bad, per se, and I had no problem staying interested through the finish. But, when I was done I was just kinda meh.With Only Human, my feeling was that the author was working toward the point, or the main moral of the story, at the
3.5ish stars. After the cliffhanger ending of book #2, Waking Gods, I was expecting this book to pick up right after the last one ended. When I read the synopsis: "Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find her old alliances forfeit and the planet in shambles," I was (completely justifiably) indignant that 10 years had apparently passed, side stepping that whole situation. Why end on a cliffhanger, then?! Luckily, that 10 year gap is given plenty of detail as the book's
3.5⭐A great conclusion to the trilogy but definitely my least favourite out of all the books. A lot did happen and some moments kept me guessing at to the end game and all, yet it didnt feel as intense or exciting as in the previous books. Also, save for Vincent, Rose and Eugine I pretty much hated every other character especially, ESPECIALLY Eva. There were certain moments where I sympathised with her but for the most part I HATED HER. I HATED HER PETULANT ANTICS, not to mention her murky
If you see something wrong with the world, fix it. But what if its the whole world that needs fixing? And thus ends one of the most interesting trilogies I ever read! I mean, when you complete a whole series in a week, it must mean something! I just couldn't put it down. Definitely a masterpiece! Nevertheless, I must admit that this last book felt somewhat weaker compared to the others. If you've read book two, you know that it ends with a very intriguing cliffhanger; but I just didn't find it
4.5 stars. The giant robots are back!! Review first posted on Fantasy Literature:Only Human wraps up Sylvain Neuvels excellent THEMIS FILES science fiction trilogy with some surprising plot turns. *Expect some spoilers for the first two books, Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods*At the end of Waking Gods, the robot called Themis was suddenly transported back home to her original planet by remote command of her alien makers, accidentally carrying along four people who happened to be inside of her:
This needs to come out already.PS. Holy fuck that cover.
