The only thing better than finishing a trilogy you really like is finding out that the end of this trilogy is the start of a new one! The Indranan trilogy ends, but the Farian trilogy begins. Happy happy, joy joy! Love Hail and glad we‘ll see more of her. 😁

Beyond the Empire: The Indranan War | K. B. Wagers

This series really needs a glossary of characters; I‘ve read both preceding books within the last 2 months but I can‘t keep track of who‘s who.
It doesn‘t help when new names pop up with no background or suddenly first names are used instead of surnames (or vice versa)

humouress I had an idea, 6 chapters in, about who the villain is. 5 chapters later they‘re starting to catch up. I suspect I‘ll have to wait until the end of the book to find out. 4y

humouress There‘s less of The Look and sticking out tongues than in the previous books but it‘s still not behaviour you expect from a middle-aged multi-solar system empress even if she is an ex-gunrunner. (Yes, I‘m being ageist - but she‘s younger than me 😉). Hail also gets very emotional. (edited) 4y

humouress 2/3 of the way through. I know authors are supposed to ‘show don‘t tell‘ but that‘s the 2nd time she‘s as good as told us but left her characters in the dark. (Okay, I got it wrong. But I think my idea was better 😉 )

I am enjoying the book 😊; these are just small quibbles I‘m noting as I go along. (edited) 4y

The final book in the Indranan Empire series finds Hail at her physical, mental, and emotional end. She's lost so many people, witnessed so much destruction, & still can't seem to fathom why an entire world chooses to follow her. But what everyone else can see is how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice for them. That she'll put herself on the line first and that she'll never do anything to harm her people. They see the hero she truly is.
