Great

Really enjoyed this second book. It was a bit slow to start out, but picked up pretty quickly and I couldn't put it down. Excited to start on book 3.

What amazes me about this book is how Neuvel manages to develop his characters through conversations. I can't say I liked this book any better than the first, but it certainly did not display any second book sag. Intense and crazy in places plus the ending is WOW.

Even if you don't care about giant robots, which I really don't, this is a terrific series because of the humanity.

 Nearly as excellent as the first instalment. Edge of your robots seat stuff...
