The Narrator kept me going to the end, even when the scenes were heavy. This second installment in the series has mature, albeit believable, themes. Child trafficking, even in the face of an Apocalypse, is a difficult subject to traverse. I understand that the author used these scenes to create true villains, and perhaps mirror the AI God. I did not expect the action in this book to match the first book. I was correct. There were more scenes of action, and a little less introspection. I find myself rooting for and against several of the characters in this story. I did not expect to get as emotionally connected to the characters as I did.
Daggumit, what a ride. I have to see what happens next in book 3. It’s 11:55 pm. Oh well, I’ll sleep later.
