Quietus

                    Quietus [noun]: anything that finishes                                   something; a release from life…

          In A Matter of Pride, former smuggler Sinbad sh’en Singh and his Terran wife, Andrea Talltrees, felt compelled to adapt to concepts of Family,  Pride, Customs, and Beliefs in order to establish a forever life on Sin’s home planet of Felida. In Quietus, the finale to author T.S. Snow’s inventive and energetic space opera Star Smuggler series, we come full circle with how clan members have evolved:

Cash, the adventurer-prodigal son, summons everything that’s left inside to make it home for the last time. . .

N’Sagar, Sin and Andi’s only daughter, who was promised shortly after birth to the gentle healer Kas, comes to grips with past mistakes in order to forge a future. . .

Adam, who paid a dear price for loving his father’s concubine, gave up his dream in order to give back to his father. . .

Our Review: In this sometimes sad, occasionally tumultuous, often tear-jerking series finale, we come to understand the full effect of the concepts of family, tribe, clan when two people allow their offspring to test their wings. Forgiveness continues to be an underlying factor, spurring a prodigal son and daughter, wife and mate into irrevocable decisions.

As always, author T.S, Snow brings a unique talent for snappy dialogue, multi-layered characters, and an inventive imagination when it comes to setting a stage. The fine details for describing customs mark Snow’s efforts and throughout the entire Smuggler series and in particular with this book.  

 On a scale of 1-5, Quietus deserves a 6.
