This is a great conclusion to the Chaotic Orbits trilogy!

Just a reminder, this series needs to be read in order. We're back with Ada and Rian as they are trying to pull of a hack of a government-wide system that is on track to destroy earth. Once again Ada has something up her sleeve, but Rain comes with a plan of his own.

First of all, I love how Beth writes this story, giving us just enough information but we know there are things happening in the background just waiting to be revealed.

We get to meet Ada's mom, who is nothing as boring as 'good' or 'evil', and the who have a welcomingly complicated, but ultimately loving, relationship. I need more of these.

What to expect:
🚀 The tension! THE TENSION. It continues, and I love it.
🚀 Misdirects and red herrings
🚀 Complicated mother / daughter relationship
🚀 Will they / won't they romance
🚀 Awesome audiobook

Dara Rosenberg and David Bendena are back and I'm so glad they are. Dara does the character of Ada and her mother perfectly.

This book is best read while training homing pigeons.

I thought this was the third and final book in this series. It doesn’t feel like a third and final book. It feels like the first ending before a new plot sequence. Ada and Ryan have made it back to the original Earth. Their combined mission is to reprogram the nanobots that will help clean up earth and save the planet. We do get to meet Ada‘s mom and some of her friends and find out important background information. But at the same time this book almost felt like it wanted to be the original Tom Cruise Mission Impossible with the wait… what the… there is the mission, there’s the second mission, and then we only learn about this overarching type of rebellion, but don’t get enough information or the information is too confusing. I did like this book, but I have been a fan of Beth Revis for a while. And she normally does better than this. Ada is a pretty decent unreliable narrator and it’s for that reason I cannot decide if I want a sequel series or not. I can’t make up my mind. I love the first two books. I liked this one. Overall together it works, but each story definitely did need to be its own book.

This was a delightful and humorous conclusion to the The Last Chance series. Packed with sharp wit and moments of heart, this book effortlessly balances humor with the stakes of a world-saving mission. The characters are engaging and their banter is infectious, keeping the tone light even in moments of tension.

The pacing is great, and the plot keeps readers on their toes while maintaining a sense of fun and adventure. What makes the book truly special is its ability to blend thrilling action with moments of levity, creating an enjoyable reading experience from start to finish.

Great narrators!

I really enjoyed the banter between the 2 main characters. The voice actors were also really great. I enjoyed that this was a short, fast paced listen.

Last Chance to Save the World deliver a fun, tense, snarky and satisfying end to this space opera trilogy.

Like the first two books, Revis’ passion for the genre is contagious, and I was quickly swept up into Ada’s hijacking hijinks. The fast paced, Oceans Eleven style action kicks off right from page one, and though short, it’s a story which packs a lot of punch. As the stakes grow higher, so does Ada and Rian’s chemistry and banter, and their cat and mouse dynamic. While the ending may not satisfy everyone, I loved it, and remain optimistic we may see more of Ada and Rian in the future!

I enjoyed this as an ebook and audiobook, and like the rest of the trilogy, found I took something away from each. While short, there’s a lot of detail, and the ebook helped me catch a few of the more subtle references I missed on the first read through. Alternatively, the audio production is excellent, with all the excitement and drama of an old time radio play. I’ll miss Rosenberg and Bandena’s quick wit and animated narration as Ada and Rian.

Thank you Dreamscape Media for an advance copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

I've listened to all 3 books in this series on audio and it's the best! Both narrators are excellent, and I can't imagine enjoying it more without Dara Rosenberg's narration of Ada. The quips, tones, just everything is so good. And what a pleasant voice to listen to!

It's hard to review book 3 without talking about it spoiling the rest of the series, but I'll do my best!

I really enjoyed going to Earth, meeting Ava's mom, and seeing how the conclusion played out. The tension and between Ava and Rian was THICK, and the banter was great as always. I wish I had started an F word meter when I started, because it's thrown around a LOT! Not that this bothers me, but something I noticed.

This entire series manages to be funny, tense, emotional, and just all around entertaining. I absolutely love Ada's character, and I've really enjoyed all 3 novellas.

Rian and Ada have made it to Earth with a very short window to re-program the nanobots to actually clean up pollution. Of course, Ada has many plans, even if Rian hopes to catch her before she escapes again.

I really enjoy this series. I loved getting to find out what Ada's big plan was with Strom Fetor as well as learning more about Jane. I hope there will be more books with Rian and Ada where their relationship develops more.

I love that Ryan's communications at the beginning and end of the book use a different narrator than Ada's section of the book. It really brings Rian's character to life.

This is an exciting conclusion to the Chaotic Orbits trilogy! I recommend reading the series in order. While I didn't enjoy book two, How to Steal a Galley, as much as book one, Full Speed to a Crash Landing, this book wrapped up the series nicely.

Following book two's events, the chaotic rogue Ada FMC and straight-laced government operative Rian MMC team up for a high-stakes heist to save the world.

As always in this series, the banter is fun and flirty, and Ada's internal monologuing is hilarious. I'd consider this light sci-fi, as it leans more toward space fantasy with slightly advanced technology rather than hard science fiction. It's also not a true romance—(IMO) a romance should have a Happily Ever After or Happy for Now, and this book ends on a cliffhanger for the main couple's relationship.

I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed Dara Rosenberg and David Bendena's narration throughout the series. Rosenberg especially brought vibrancy and life to Ada.

This is a fantastic conclusion to a fun and humorous series. I'm excited to see what Revis has in store next!

Spice: 1/5
Plot: 4/5
Writing: 4.5/5
My Enjoyment:4.5/5

Last Chance to Save the World” by Beth Revis delivers an electrifying conclusion to the Chaotic Orbits trilogy, seamlessly blending high-stakes action, intricate world-building, and a tantalizing enemies-to-lovers romance. The dynamic between Ada and Rian crackles with wit and tension as they navigate a perilous mission to thwart a catastrophic nanobot release threatening Earth’s survival. Revis masterfully balances fast-paced heist elements with profound themes of climate injustice, making the narrative both thrilling and thought-provoking. Fans will find this novella a satisfying and exhilarating read.

I think this is one of the best trilogies I have read in a good long while. They are short, but they are mighty. I love the cat and mouse, the subtle romance, the dialogue that is full of sarcasm and banter, and the whole heist aspect. The reminds me of a space-age Thomas Crown Affair or something like Ocean's 11, where you have this elaborate heist, and you think you figure out how they are going to do it and get away and then they surprise you with being extra clever. I wish there were more books with these characters because I would love to see more, but alas, this is just a trilogy. A very well done trilogy- please go read this now, trilogy. The narration of this series is amazing, perfect, and couldn't have been done better.

(Disclaimer: I received the audiobook from the publisher, but this has in no way influenced my review. My thoughts are entirely unbiased and honest.)

I’ve been eagerly anticipating this final book after being so entertained by Ada’s antics and gray morality.

It’s pretty clear that Beth Revis loves sci-fi and Star Wars (which really is a space opera), which I totally appreciate as someone who loves heist/action/romance stories set in space!

That said, I have to agree with other reviewers—whoever decided to stretch this story into three short books instead of a duology really did it a disservice.

Despite having the highest stakes, Last Chance to Save the World is the weakest installment in terms of plot, characterization, and the boom factor was just missing.

It would've been much stronger as a two-book series, giving the characters and their motivations more depth and chance to breathe.

After all that betrayal and plotting, it would’ve been so satisfying to see more tender moments between Ada and Rian, not focused on their sexual tension.

This final book relied too much on telling rather than showing, making the ending feel a bit anti-climactic for me.

I also didn’t find Rian as compelling love interest anymore—he just felt kind of flat.

Still, I’d love to see more books set in this universe because the possibilities are endless!

Huge thanks to the publishing team, and hopefully next time, don’t force a cash grab. Hehe.

Engaging, funny,sexy,exciting this third book in the series is exactly what a heist story should be. The banter between Ada and Rian was 💯10/10 I definately want to check out some of the authors other space themed books. Revis wrote a bunch of Star Wars tie ins so maybe those will be next…….

A million billion thank yous to publisher Dreamscape media and NetGalley for the audio arc!

This was a good end to an amusing trilogy. I would not be opposed to more, at all, and I remain hopeful with that ending, that Revis could treat us to some more short entertaining space adventures with Ada and Rian. The banter is fun and the tension between the two of them remains palpable. I will be adding more of this author to my reading repertoire.
The narration brought the story to life in a pleasing way.
I recommend this short series, especially in audiobook format, to people that enjoy space heists with some romantic tension.
Many thanks to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for an early listening copy of this book. The opinions expressed are honest and my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great finale! I loved the tension between Ada and Rian as the dynamic between them is just so amazing. I loved how this wrapped everything up neatly and yet left one small opening for more. I would love to know more about how this world got to be the way it is and could see more books in this world. I really enjoyed the fast pace of this book and how it ties to other parts of the first two books.

This one picks up right where the last novella left off, with Ada and Rian racing to stop corrupted nanobots from destroying Earth. Their banter? Still top-tier. Tension? Absolutely there. And Ada being five steps ahead of everyone? Of course.

As an electrical engineer, this series totally speaks to my nerdy heart. Tech-savvy heroines, sci-fi heists, clever twists, and just the right amount of chaos? Yes, please. I continue to love the mix of high-stakes action and flirty tension. The audiobook narration is still great too.

That said, I wouldn’t call this a satisfying conclusion. The plot was wrapped up nicely, but the romance? Still very much unresolved. I needed more closure between Ada and Rian (Just give me something PLEASE!!)

I had a blast with this series overall. If you're into techy smartass heroines, slow burns, morally gray choices, and government agents who catch feelings but pretend they haven’t, this one's for you. Definitely read all three back-to-back for the best experience.

Last Chance to Save the Words starts off right after the events of How to Steal a Galaxy. Ada and Rian are on their way to Earth to save the planet from the release of corrupted nanobots. They must reach Earth and code the nanobots with a counter-virus before they are released. Can they save Earth before it's too late?

Can you love and hate a book at the same time? When it comes to Last Chance to Save the World, the answer is absolutely yes. I loved the last two novellas, and I was so excited for the conclusion of this series. This novella starts out as a five-star read. I loved Ada and Rian's banter and was interested in reading how all of the events from the previous novellas lined up with Ada's plans. However, when it came to the conclusion, I was left disappointed.

The ending seemed to leave on a cliffhanger, leaving us with wondering if we will see these characters in another series or if we will ever get the final conclusion when it comes to the romance between Ada and Rian. I was really hoping for more of an ending, than a conclusion that seemed to leave more questions than answers. Even with my disappointment in the conclusion, I would still rate this series 4 stars overall.

Last Chance to Save the World is out April 8th.

Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media and DAW for the opportunity to review Last Chance to Save the World. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END

An amazing ending to an amazing trilogy. Questions from the previous books were answered and a new character is introduced. The tension and emotion between Ada and Rian was insane!!

I listened to a mix of audio and print for this series. This book was audio #GIFTED from Daw Books and NetGalley. It's excellently narrated! But the *new character* (trying to not spoil it), I wonder if that person's tone could have interpreted a different way and fit better? Still good, but I think I would have assumed a more serious tone in reading.

Maybe I read it too fast or love the series too much, but this one did feel shorter than the previous two. I wish there could have been more.

And that ending! It's not the one I wanted, but it's the only one that makes sense.

CW: all 3 books are full of swearing, like a lot. And no on the page intimacy but it's talked about a lot and super super flirty.

So, yeah. I'm putting my broken heart back together. Don't miss this action packed, swoOoOony sci-fi novella trilogy!

Adding in my original review below, but focusing on the audiobook/my second time listening.

I think doing a second read through/thinking more about this series as a whole has slightly lowered my original enjoyment. I still love this series, but I think book one is the best. Book three shows Ada still at her best, but Rian feels like he's completely out of his depth the entire time. What made the first books so enjoyable is the way it feels like a cat and mouse game that makes both characters feel competent. I think that, along with the way I found the ending somewhat unsatisfying, made me enjoy this book less. I still stand by my original review and hope that there is a continuation series one day.

Original review:
What a fantastic conclusion. This whole series was a fun and exciting ride and I was not ready for it to end! I'm always impressed by the layers of reveals these stories have. I think about these two characters all the time and this part offered a lot more insight into Ada. I know this is the end, but I would love more books in this series. I do wish we had more of a HEA, but maybe that just means this could be revisited later.

Excited to check out Beth Revis's backlist and looking forward to any future publications.

I've been eagerly anticipating this last novella in the series, and it (mostly) did not disappoint! I was fully engaged in the adventure elements of the story, and I definitely felt the tension during key high-stake moments. I also liked that we learned some background information on Ada and her family. I also enjoyed the chemistry between Ada and Rian. However, I took off a star because I would have enjoyed the ending better if Ada and Rian had actually ended up together, which I had been waiting for throughout the three books. I did like that the end was ambiguous and open enough that the reader could imagine further escapades between the two. However, if the book is marketed as a romance, the main couple should end up together. I would have also liked a little more backstory on Ada's family and their motivations, but all in all I highly enjoyed this novella and the trilogy as a whole. Once again, the narration was excellent and engaging!

"Last Chance to Save the World" was a nice ending to this novella trilogy. Of the three, this one was probably the least exciting since the mission was more straight forward. We also know Ada well enough at this point to know she always has a plan and at least 6 steps ahead at all times. The one thing I wish is that we got a more satisfying ending with the romance brewing between Ada and Rian.
