Adrian Tchaikovsky is just the best science-fiction author right now even considering how much he publish. That one was as awesome as it gets!

Another fabulous sequel! The story is compelling and creative. I recommend this book for Sci-fi fans!

As the galaxy holds its breath while our heroes try to end the threat of the Architects once and for all, sinister forces gather to take that fragile hope away in order to pursue their own agendas. Idris and the crew find themselves fighting tooth and nail to both batter aside these unexpected adversaries and to tackle the true threat to all sentient life before it is too late.

If you've made it this far into Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture trilogy, you'll be happy to hear that the final installment doesn't miss the mark! Your favorite characters are back in true form, the stakes are higher, and everything works in the story to move us to a satisfying conclusion.

A great end to a great series. Lords of Uncreation dives deeply into “unspace”, answering the questions set up in the previous novels. Some of the metaphysics get a little bit confusing, but I think that may be the point.

What a ride! Adrian Tchaikovsky stuck this landing with his final installment. Must read!!

Lords of Uncreation is the final high-octane installment in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture space opera trilogy.

And Tchaikovsky sticks the landing! The final installment of The Final Architecture series is packed with action, well-plotted, and just beautifully executed. It’s always a little shocking to me the quality prolific authors like Tchaikovsky can achieve coupled with such volume.

The ending is pretty satisfying, and we even get a little extra in the final chapter telling us about the character’s lives after the end of the war.

I have a few quibbles. I just love the Essiel and the human characters’ absolute befuddlement dealing with them at every turn. And I adore the individual Hivers. I wish there were enough space to explore more of these interactions. But if you’ve read the first two books and enjoyed them, none of my nitpicking would deter you from throughly enjoying the conclusion. This final installment is well worth it.

Hachette provided an advance copy via NetGalley for this review.

Thanks to netgalley for this arc.

Conclusion first, this was a good conclusion to a great series. There was no earthshattering revelatory ending, but it was wrapped up nicely, with all the characters we know and love from the journey. This series has truly been one were the whole is better than the sum of it's parts. Even the terrible gangsters ended up with a bit of warm and fuzzy side (kind of).

I won't spoil the fun for anyone by giving away any of the plot points, but it's definitely a worthy ending and great series to dive into.

Shout out to Orbit and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy!

Also thanks to Adrian Tchaikovsky for always publishing books near my birthday, it gives my husband easy gifts to get me :).

We find ourselves back with our lovable crew of misfits Solace, Kit, Kris, Ollie, and of course our favorite Int Idris. This crew is the center of our space opera with Haever and some other characters also having their own POV chapters. I will say even with my deep love of the book there are times where the science was a little tooooo deep for me. Even then I thought this was a wonderful conclusion, though to me it did have a little bit of a hanging storyline. I'll let my fellow readers decide how they feel I don't want to ruin anything.

Ollie is after my heart, she is easily my favorite character and her storyline is great. I absolutely love that Tchaikovsky features a strong female character with limb difference.

I purchased a copy of this, as I am currently still reading book one, and don't want to rush to get my review out of the final book, as I have a few others novels I have to review that are being released much sooner. Thank you for the arc!

Rating it 4 stars as that is what I gave book one, and adrian tchaikovsky has yet to put out anything I've read that's been less than a 3.5/5

Lords of Uncreation is a deeply satisfying conclusion to the Final Architecture. I have savored each book and Adrian Tchaikovsky does a great job sustaining the awful grandeur of the Architects, revealing the Presence in unspace, and disclosing the secrets of the universe. All tangled up with human and alien plotting and politics as well as the fates of the relatable and generally likable protagonists. Works on every level. This is space opera at its best. Do not start the trilogy here - go to book 1, the splendid Shards of Earth.

This is a mostly satisfying conclusion to an epic trilogy. I'm reluctant to criticize because it's fantastically imagined, beautifully written, tightly plotted, and thought provoking, but I did find the second half a bit of a slog. It seemed poor Idris was having the same dreadful experience descending into the unreal over and over. Ollie on the run over and over from the architects, Havaer having repetitive frustrating interactions with bureaucracy, Kris and Solace spinning their wheels getting nowhere. The final encounter with the ultimate enemy, when it finally occurs, ends up being a little bit underwhelming, but I was grateful for the last chapter where you find out where everyone goes afterwards. The main characters are each in their own way endearing over the course of the trilogy. Overall, a fascinating world with multiple, masterfully imagined alien species, artificial intelligences, advanced technologies, and conflicting human cultures with plausible political situations, and well worth reading.

Another fantastic novel by this author. I don't often give out five stars but this is worth it. I have been reading this Architect series since the beginning and have been enjoying each one. These books are more hard science fiction than space opera. But still the characters are far more than set pieces. I am able to keep up with the varied amount of characters and worry about them through out the adventure. We see Idris searching for the actual force behind the architects. There is Olli's relationship with the Hedgemony's devil as well as other members of the Vulture God's crew. It is a beautifully woven world, rich in character development and story. The man can write. I look forward to more of Adrian Tchaikovsky's work. Every one is a beautiful creation. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lords of Uncreation is the fitting send off for the Final Architecture trilogy. Every character shines in their own way - Olli is Olli, Kit does his kitterings, Solace is resolute, Kris advocates like a boss, even Mundy steps up. But, Idris, man Idris does some things. Even Aklu waves around some tentacles in a way that will make you love that unspeakable space clam. A very satisfying conclusion for the crew of the Vulture God.

Truly one of the most monumental Space Operas in recent memory. Tchaikovsky pushes all the right buttons with this final book in this magnificent series. I continue to marvel at how imaginative he is when it comes to constructing new worlds, alien races, and mind blowing advanced technology. If you aren't reading his SF books and you claim to be a fan of SF, you are missing one of the best in the business. I highly recommend starting with Shards of Earth and then devouring the following two books in quick succession. A more detailed review will be coming up on the blog soon!

5/5 stars! What a stunning conclusion to an amazing series. I have been hooked by Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Final Architecture" from the very beginning, so I screamed when I got the chance to read this book. This is such an epic science-fiction series and every phenomenal piece of the puzzle fell together beautifully here. I don't want to give spoilers, but RUN to pre-order this book; you won't regret it.

I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

A great ending to a great series. I was put off by the overview at the start of the book with all the main characters doing info-dumps and exposition - particularly given that this is the LAST book of this series and these aren't tiny books. I think that could have been reduced or edited out. I also felt that the book dragged slightly in the back of the book as it could have been more tightly written and plotted. Additionally, the first big plot point in the first half of the book was resolved too quickly. Additionally, too many characters had plot armor and they weren't as developed as in the first book.

That said, Tchaikovsky is a smart writer who brought some good ideas to the table and built alien and human cultures that were unique and interesting. I'm not sure there's much more to do in this particular universe so if this is the end I think it was a good way to go. Sleep well, Idris.

Amazing! In Lords of Uncreation, the Final Architecture trilogy is brought to a conclusion that left me awestruck.

Adrian Tchaikovsky with the Final Architecture trilogy has written what can only be described as a space opera epic similar to the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons and Commonweath Saga by Peter F Hamilton. Our protagonist Idis continues his arc as a messianic undying martyr figure who in this final installment of the series ventures into the metaphorical underworld and slays the titans. The crew of the salvage ship Vulture God are once again with him every step of the way and Tchaikovsky makes sure to bring every subplot in the series to a satisfying conclusion rather than leaving the reader hanging.

This is not a standalone novel but the third and final part of a trilogy, so make sure to go read Shards of Earth and Eyes of the Void before starting Lords of Uncreation. If you enjoy books by Adrian Tchaikovsky or enjoy space opera epics then I strongly advise giving the Final Architecture trilogy a read.

This is a fine conclusion to a gripping series. Demanding enough that you have to pay attention and entertaining enough that you're willing to make the effort. Lots of authors are skilled at creating interesting and believable alien life forms. But Tchaikovsky goes well beyond that. In addition to creating characters with real, distinct, and compelling personalities, Tchaikovsky is willing to embrace the challenge of taking the reader inside wonderful, ineffable, and fundamentally unknowable entities, and that's what you get here. The entire series builds up to a reveal of who or what it is that commands the Architects, (as well as the "why"), and we actually get an answer that makes sense and opens our minds. First rate stuff.

An interesting story full of twists, turns, fun characters and overall a book I would consider reading time and time again.
