"Yes, they're three books but not really. The trilogy introduced me to this brilliant and hilarious buddha man, who was like no one else on this planet. His philosophy about life impacted me a great deal when I was in my twenties and trying figure things out."

"Part of the Cairo trilogy by Mahfouz, this novel is like Ulysses in its focus (everyday life) but instead of a day covers a family moving through generations. It, too, views politics not through the excitements of politicians but what it means for our lived experience."

Goliath brought an epic conclusion to the Leviathan Trilogy. I read through this book quicker than the others (and that is saying a lot). As the crew of the Leviathan continue their mission, the action and adventure increases! Tensions rise as secrets long kept come into the light. Alek wants to do the right thing, but is his judgement clouded? If you are looking for something new to read, this trilogy is where it is at! Watching Alek and Deryn learn, grow and mature along this journey was a delight. This is a great story and one that I look forward to revisiting in the future.

Final part of [a:Chuck Wendig|17152|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1294919586p2/17152.jpg]'s Aftermath trilogy of novel (starting with [b:Aftermath|25131600|Aftermath (Star Wars Aftermath, #1)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426620007s/25131600.jpg|44828548] and continuing with [b:Aftermath: Life Debt|26895161|Aftermath Life Debt (Star Wars Aftermath, #2)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449268300s/26895161.jpg|47250982] before finishing with this) that kicked off Disney's 'new' Extended Universe Star Wars novels, this also fixes many of the problem with the earlier entries - [b:Aftermath|25131600|Aftermath (Star Wars Aftermath, #1)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426620007s/25131600.jpg|44828548], in particular, just did not do it for me.

[b:Aftermath: Life Debt|26895161|Aftermath Life Debt (Star Wars Aftermath, #2)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449268300s/26895161.jpg|47250982] was better, but not brilliant: this, I felt, was better again.

All three novels are set during the period between the end of 'Return of the Jedi' and the start of 'The Force Awakens', taking in many of the key characters from the original films and furhter expanding their universe and personalities - in particular, Mon Mothma has a larger role to play in this than ever before.

The trilogy also introduces a new set of characters, and even manages to make the Battle Droids from the prequel trilogy seem dangerous once more.

For my money, however (and I hate to say this), it's still not a patch on [a:Timothy Zahn|12479|Timothy Zahn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1215545810p2/12479.jpg]'s [b:Heir to the Empire|216443|Heir to the Empire (Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy #1)|Timothy Zahn|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1398253847s/216443.jpg|1133995] trilogy (sorry).

Not boringly predictable (1 more)
Good balance of action, romance, suspense, etc
Technically a follow on trilogy to the 'Study' series. The protagonist is a minor character in some significant adventures, which are mentioned multiple times. Can still enjoy without having read those, but might be slightly confusing at times (0 more)

The book was just like the first series and continues the woman assassin's story. While it has been awhile since I read His Fair Assassin trilogy that did not seem to be a problem while reading this book.
I enjoyed the premise but some parts felt drawn out.

I love how they talk about multiple personality disorder. They did a really good job with this movie, although I didn't know this was the second movie in a trilogy. I didn't like how there was so many things that didn't make sense the first time you watched it.
