Super Quick Review

Just finished the audiobook for Terminal Peace by jimhines/Jim C. Hines, third and final installment of the "Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse" trilogy.

Without spoilers, I will say that I was fully prepared to accept the pre-epilogue ending. Jim has gone through some serious shit over the past few years, even beyond Covid, and he hasn't shied away from bringing personal experience into his works. Nor is he shy about doing what needs to be done for the sake of story and character. That said, I 100% welcomed the epilogue with open arms; sometimes sweetness can be a flavor enhancer, just like salt is.

I will also say that Jim remains a deft hand at pulling an unexpected third option out from behind a rock when you aren't looking. One that still works. I had to reassure myself of his track record on that count several times during the course of this book, but he got us/the characters there in the end!

Long story short, I would absolutely read/listen to more stories set in this universe.

Remembered it was Thursday and I wanted to do a rec barely half an hour ago, whoops! Still managed to get it in: This week I recced long-running Yuri review blog Okazu over at queerly_beloved.

I almost recced several other things, including a shameless rec for AnimeTwineowa, but I still want to restructure that to be for an imaginary convention first. We'll see if I get to it before I run out of things to rec or not 😅

Edit: Fuck it, next week I'm reccing Chuck Tingle, special focus on Not Pounded by Anything: Six Platonic Tales of Non-Sexual Encounters. (I need to read the sequel to that ASAP...)
