Just finished this. I really enjoyed this entire series, the characters, the grandiose plots and the realistic (to me) space battles. I think this was my least favorite book, the way the threats and resolutions were so far out of the realm of normal (even beyond ring gates and protomolecules, etc.), it felt like just anything could happen. I did really dig that epilogue, though.
Yeah, the epilogue was great. There's supposed to be a novella coming that's after the main action of this book, too, which may be more of that. I hope.
I read a tweet from the authors in which they describe the series as more (loosely) three duologies and a trilogy. On my recent re-read this past month, I found that a satisfying description. Either way, I very much enjoyed the series and the various short stories, and consider them time well spent.

Yeah, I could see that framing, too.
