There are four rules.

01 - This book has mature aspects. There are violence, language and sexual implications in this book. Similar to the first and unlike the second and prequel, this book is not marked mature.

02 - This is a finale. It is not a standalone book. The order of the series goes Venture to Uncertainty, Venture to Chaos, Live to Venture (optional prequel) and then this book.

03 - This book is a thriller. You were warned.

04 - This is an adventure series, but this book has more of a fantasy feel. I didn't mean for it to become that, but it did. Blame the characters. I do my best to maintain the logical undertone of the trilogy.
