Story
More than a century has passed since Bethany Anne’s Armada left the Federation to tackle the Gödel and the Kurtherians head-on. In her absence, have certain parties within the Federation grown too big for their boots? The Federation Council has become engorged with corrupt representatives from the corporate families who believe their wealth entitles them to subvert the principles the Federation was founded upon. Bethany Anne returns alone in ass-kicking mode, determined to oust the families hell-bent on taking over - but have the families become too powerful, even for her?

As the titles says, I was all over the place with this one. There were so many moments through out this book let alone the series that just had me cheering on Bethany Anne and the Bitches. This was a great way to wrap up the series for a while.

Finally Made It
I’ve listened to both series six or eight times. Not sure exactly. Audible is awesome! I can’t get enough of BA. I haven’t listened to the side books so there are annoying gaps. I plan to pick up a few during the next pass. I think I’d lose my mind trying to keep track of all of them. The best news I just heard is that the Queen Bitch may return. I can’t wait! Time once again for “Death Becomes Her”! Thanks Michael!

still a lot of loose strings but I'm satisfied
several stories have popped up in the KU that were not acknowledged in this book. which I wanted to see those people. however, they may still show up in a collaboration of the magic side of the Ku just not in endgame... Maybe. I honestly miss Emily's take on the book and wanted her to say something about it finally ending as she read so much of it and created so many character voices throughout the years. I understand some things had to happen answer me the ending was bittersweet but promising. thank you Michael and Ali for giving me a story to get involved with in the last X amount of years! and here's hoping we have more!
