Sun Strike by J L PawleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This latest iteration of Generation Icarus reaches its conclusion in three books instead of four, although Pawley does indicate in the acknowledgments at the end of the book that there could yet be more adventures in the pipeline for the Flight. And yet, if this is the end of the road, it's been a great one for these characters, even if they pass along a terrible case of "post-dramatic Jess disorder" to the readers every time. But while this book brings everything to a rapid boil before wrapping the story up, it's also got a lot of sweet, heartful, and humorous friendship and relationship moments. Personally, though, my favorite is when Hawk and Falcon discover what TVTropes calls "Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!" But in true bromance fashion, they lean into the ridiculosity and tease each other like Fawk is, in fact, a seaworthy ship. And in true Flight fashion, I declare this series ave atque vale, at least for now...
