Captain’s Share<\/a><\/i>. While this was the logical final step for Ishmael Wang, I appreciated that some of the loose ends that had been introduced throughout the series were finally resolved. I also appreciated that the characters weren\u2019t all idyllic or idiotic, thus providing a balance of the likable and unlikeable characters instead of heavily including one side of the spectrum or the other.<\/p>\nIn terms of plot, Nathan Lowell has spun together a great yarn here with a lot of \u201cwhat could go wrong next?\u201d scenarios. Even if these events didn\u2019t feel like they carried much in terms of consequences, due to these inevitabilities never coming to pass, they were usually impediments to Wang\u2019s goals. The one twist near the end of the novel took me for a loop, just for how sudden and drastic it was. I would have been fine with a fairytale ending, but clearly, the author had other plans for the visibly aged Wang.<\/p>\n
What strikes me about this book, and the series as a whole, is that it was incredibly easy to digest as a reader. I could always follow along with what was happening, and the narrative style of Ishmael Wang was a simple, but also quite comprehensive. And while I really liked the first three books as their own kind of \u201ctrilogy\u201d, these last three have had their unique elements as well, even if the whole shipping business felt like it was \u201cold hat\u201d by now. That being said, I\u2019m almost looking forward to the next time I decide to pick up these books and give them another read\u00a0because I have a feeling that it might be a lot sooner than you might think.<\/p>\n
A fitting end to an incredible series, I give Owner\u2019s Share<\/i> 4.5 stars out of 5.<\/p>\n![\"255px-Five-pointed_star_svg\"](\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/255px-Five-pointed_star_svg-150x150.png\")
