The story has been described as a chaotic mix of military action and numerous characters, often lacking depth and coherence. While some readers found it engaging and fast-paced, others criticized it for its implausible plot points and shallow character development, likening it to a draft rather than a fully realized narrative. Overall, the story is seen as a casual read that may appeal to fans of military fiction but falls short of the standards set by Tom Clancy's original works.
“The story is fiction, and unintentionally humorous with some implausible situations, but a good casual read.”
“Endwar is a decent page-turner with a good background story.”
“Very well written book, with the plot tracing the story of many characters that will intersect eventually.”
“Tom Clancy-style writing can't make up for a nonsensical universe that the story is set in.”
“First of all, my main impression reading this story was that it had too many characters, all acting separately in their own little worlds, and the novel bunny-hops between them like an ADHD teenager.”
“Both the plot and the characters are frustratingly shallow and one-dimensional.”
