This new episode is much lighter than the last one. It is a YA cyberpunk genderbent Robin Hood story.
Hoodlum leads a virtual gang that steals from the corporates to help people buy out their indentured servitude. This latest job is their biggest yet.

@hankgreen I saw at least one person mention Becky Chambers, and I will second that recommendation. Both the Wayfarers series and Psalm for the Wild Built (a novella) are excellent.
Also, Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, if you haven't read them yet.
@Prof_RBW I mean, I'll always recommend @nkjemisin. Either the triple Hugo award winning Broken Earth Trilogy or the Great Cities duology are excellent choices, but really there is no bad choice with her.

@DanielBGreene I will be curious to see what frustrated you in the review.
I will admit, it was a bit cheesy at points, but I loved this finale. And I think that the choices they are making for Sauron are good and interesting.
@OtaconUCF @DanielBGreene Which mystery boxes weren't solvable?
Lots of people guessed Halbrand was Sauron, based on hints and evidence in the show.
Same thing with The Stranger as Gandalf.
Neither of those were some uncallable twist.
