Stupid male power fantasy with a sorry excuse for a story.

Takeshi Kovac the former UN-envoy is back. Thirty-three years after the events in Altered Carbon. I don’t want to give up too much of the plot because there is A LOT of story in this book. You don’t have to have read Altered Carbon to enjoy this book & I’ll admit that there is quite a bit of the noir style story telling in a futuristic setting. Maybe I’m getting older, but there were a couple of sex scenes that were a bit more descriptive than I personally warranted & not necessary for the overall story. I am looking forward to the 2nd season of Altered Carbon on Netflix & I’ll do want finish this trilogy.

Perfect balance of graphic content without being too much, story flowed really well and I felt a good connection to what was quite a few characters.
Honestly just wished this was longer.

I really enjoy Takeshi Kovacs and his internal struggles, because I think they point to the fact that Richard K Morgan has a much deeper understanding of the human psyche than most. There were times this was a little hard to follow, and I had to re-read a page or two, but I like a good challenge. Some of these plot twists I didn’t see coming until it was too late and I don’t often get surprised anymore so it was a really enjoyable reading experience.

Not as awe inspiring as Altered Carbon, but still loads of Fun. Really starting to like Tak as well, starting the third book this weekend. Can't wait :)
