6/10/2023 0 Comments Revenant Gun by Yoon Ha Lee![]() ![]() ![]() Without giving too much away, let’s just say that the servitors are not a united front. Similarly, I enjoyed seeing more from the servitors’ perspectives. It’s fun watching him grow a conscience, of sorts. He also really has no purpose outside of being Kujen’s weapon. He doesn’t trust Kujen (good), yet also has no idea how he could wrest more control over his own destiny. New Jedao (as I will call him) is unsure of himself. It’s so interesting, all these viewpoint characters, and the sympathies that they create. ![]() As war flares up over and over, it starts to look like Jedao vs Jedao might be the only way to end things-but what will the price be for humanity? ![]() Meanwhile, Brezan leads the rebels, and Cheris/Jedao is missing-she has a plan of her own. The Nirai hexarch, Kujen, has resurrected Shuos Jedao-or bits of him, at least-in a new and “improved” body and given him command of what is left of the Hexarchate’s Kel forces. We pick up nine years after Raven Stratagem, although some chapters are flashbacks set shortly after that book. Finishing a trilogy satisfactorily is no mean feat, especially when you’ve created a universe as intricate and far-flung as Lee’s. I think I’m so well-disposed towards Revenant Gun because of Yoon Ha Lee’s dedication to wrapping up the story. Here we are with the last Machineries of Empire book and possibly my favourite, even though I’m giving it a lower rating than Ninefox Gambit (go figure). ![]()
