About this listen
Gwen Lark knows how to Qualify, Compete, and Win...The time has come to Survive.
The Games of the Atlantis Grail have come to a ground-shaking halt and Gwen Lark, nerd, geek, and awkward smart girl, survived the remarkable ordeal, for the time being. But the worst is yet to come!
Now, both the colony planet Atlantis and Earth are under a threat of annihilation, and everything is up in the air, including dire and stunning wonders in the Atlantean skies. Will there be a Wedding?
Will there be a future for Gwen Lark, her beloved, and all their families, friends, and loved ones?
Is Gwen's rare and powerful talent, the Logos voice of creation, enough to resolve the greatest mystery of the Kassiopei Imperial Dynasty and its role in the events of deepest antiquity since the dawn of time?
The fate of the entire human species is at stake, and now there can be no respite, not a moment to lose. The final battle is here, and Gwen, and everyone she knows and loves, are in for the greatest fight of their lives.
It is time to survive.

I really enjoyed books 1 and 2 in the series, book 3 was already a bit "wtf", but this one... while still enjoyable to listen to, it just didn't really add up for me.
The strong, antagonistic imperator sacrifices himself.
His wife and daughter who'd been abused for decades just grieve and show no signs of relief.
Gwen, the heroine, succumbs to her husband's power sperm, becoming a teenage mum rather than letting us know about all the social reforms she would spearhead.
We learn that Gwen's mum was somehow told about Gwen's relationship which wasn't supposed to happen, and it's flagged up as Weird, but there's no clarification.
And we never learn why anyone thought that putting teenagers through deadly competitions to qualify was appropriate - from all that's revealed in the books, they could've just gone with their scores without staging huge and expansive (and expEnsive!) arenas and killing off lots of kids in the process. And the weirdest thing - nobody questions it. Not even Gwen who's seen kids die right in front of her ever bothers asking her husband why all that killing was necessary, or is even angry about it.
It did kind of feel like 30 hours of listening to something that could have been great and affirming. There was lots of tension and it was interesting, but I did feel let down by the last book. I didn't take Gwen for someone who would go straight from not finishing school to letting someone force her into an engagement to forgiving him not standing up for her when she was forced to fight for her life in the Games to giving up (or long-term pausing) education and her involvement in all kinds of social causes for quintuple motherhood that early on. Maybe if she'd ever expressed any interest in being a mum before, but nope.... missed a trick here I think.
Let the series down a bit
