This is the third post in my exceptional series reviews. And the awesome part about this review? My cousin wrote this series! I even beta read the last novel. Let me tell you, I loved all of it. Mostly the characters. Since it's been a while since I've read the series, here's the reviews I posted once upon a time on Goodreads.

The Orphan Ship Trilogy 
The Orphan Ship
This is a heartfelt book. The author does a great job at interweaving all the characters together and making you interested in their lives. It’s easy to read with not a lot of unnecessary description. You get how the characters are feeling by their interactions together. The future world is not too spacey or silly rather it feels realistic with references to our time now. It is well written and engaging. Great original concept. I love how the author also weaved elements of different cultures and religions into the novel. Some suspenseful moments and there is enough left for you to wanting more in the next novel. 
The Lost Sheep 
I just love the characters in these novels. This is a fun, grit-filled sci-fi story that continues with Danae’s adventures from the first novel. Not a dull moment. So many scenes that tugged at me. Told from multiple points of views, but the reader is sure to grow to love all the characters. 
The Last Orphan 
This is the perfect ending for the trilogy. 
We are left in the second book with Shima doing something absolutely rash and dangerous. We pick up this book from Blaze’s POV and see Shima’s mistake through his eyes. Intense. Captain Danae Shepherd now has her hands full, and with two gentlemen vying for her affections, the woman is a mess. Danae has much to undertake and her emotions don’t need to get in her way. What I love about Danae is her fire. She is a strong woman, prone to eruptions, but I love that the author has finally given her some romance. 
The novel is filled with tension—some close calls for a few characters. There are many characters that I love. Poor Ting. He is going through a lot. Erik is the ever-capable doctor. Blaze brings the southern, Christian charm. The novel is full of diverse characters, which helps us appreciate other cultures. And the author drives her point across about the slave trade in a way that doesn’t make it seem preachy but rather carefully crafted into her novel. 
The author works some creative aspects in with her POV’s, seeing events unfold through another who you would not expect to be the POV character. It only heightened the tension. I was gasping and sweating. 
The novel finished, nicely concluding the trilogy in a way you won’t be disappointed, because can I tell you? There are a few surprises at the end. 
A clean, easy read. Suitable for all audiences.
