The Origin Mystery remains a mystery
That felt short but a very satisfactory ending. This third and final book in the trilogy, for me, is a stand-alone novel too.
It was fast, direct, and in a way placed Dorian in a different light. He represents humanity that doesn't want to talk and instead wants to do.things his own way, for whatever reason. He loves his own race and only cares about the results.
In contrast, there is Kate, who also loves her own race. She fought for her own people, is willing to sacrifice herself, and cares that she doesn't sacrifice anyone else just to get the result.
Though one thing was left unanswered, what is the Origin Mystery. History might repeat itself, with a new group from a new planet, searching for the answer to that question.
A sequel trilogy?

A Closure to a Chapter that Started 70,000 years ago
Overall, it was a good sequel and closing of the first chapter that spanned thousands of years. It also established the universe of this fiction world better as well as the characters growth.
However, there were too many lengthy dialogues from David, it felt like he was a history professor than a character analysing historical facts. I had to fight myself from skipping anything during that part. Maybe I'm biased, since I'm pretty much familiar with those events he explained.
It is also refreshing that the novel ended as a closer to the first, although there was an obvious hint of a sequel, the ending did not feel, not even pointed, that way.
It got me very curious though what earth would look like if Kate chose not to reverse the devolution protocol.

Atlantis & Autism Spectrum
I have the print release of this book for years and like many books I collected, I haven't gotten the time to get past chapter 2. Now that I finished it, amazing touch on the use of the Autism Spectrum. As someone who is in the spectrum and with the continued discrimination against us, I highly approve how AS was presented in this novel. Maybe, it is indeed the next step, the beginning. Only time can tell.

To Earth and beyond
A fast-paced short story trilogy that brings forth the what-ifs in spacetime travel and possibilities. I like how spacetime was insisted for it is how I view it as well, inseparable and thus 3 or 4 dimensional, something most space and time fictions forget.
It would be interesting to know about the other worlds in another story. This trilogy felt like it was a teaser to a grander adventure, filled with moral challenges and causal loops. And more in-depth exploration of the author's take on the dimensions of spacetime.

Heart stopping
This story is perfect for our era. The idea behind it, the ramifications of realising what the world is, the truth about our reality, as we discover more of our "real" world.
Although there were couples of typos and broken thoughts here and there, overall, the setup and the story are great. I admit I want to kick our protagonist for being very slow and fly-minded, but his "friend" countered that very annoying slowness of his.
It is also a scary story. Not in the sense of suspense or horror, but because of what it eventually reveals. What if there is truth about the latest theories about our reality?

War of the Parallel Worlds
First story I've read where different parallel worlds were used a lot in addition to an existence of some economic system between worlds, and war.
Has great beginning and middle, although the part where the fight is going on, it was rushed, the descriptions were more of a summary than a story.
Other than that, it is a stand alone book from the other series "World Breaker Beginnings". I'll wait for the next installment in the "World Breaker" series. I want to see these worlds, the secret of these one particular world where everyone is a traveller, the explanation on why people have powers in some worlds, and a lot of other things.
This is a universe with a lot of potential and I can't wait to see it grow.
