It was definitely better than the first book. I liked the world buildning and the character growth. I'm anxious to read the third and final book to see how this series will conclude.

This book was a book of mixed feelings for me. It's just as tense as False Memory, so no worries about that. The world building expanded in this book in an interesting way.
The characters were mixed feelings too, I guess. I wish they had more depth. The only way I can tell the difference between Rhys and Peter is that Peter is the official leader. (It seemed, in the ending, at the confrontation with the director, that Miranda was leading though. Peter was practically invisible.)
The beginning was kind of hard to get through for me (why is that happening with books more and more frequently nowadays?), and after what happened to Noah (still kind of confused on that...?) I needed a break, I guess. It was kind of hard for me to pick up the book.
After that, life went back to beingcrazy normal. People fought, crazy plans unfolded, etc. The ending was also mixed feelings for me. I'm still wondering if the next book will suddenly jump out at me and say, Haha, tricked you! Things didn't really happen the way you thought they did.

Cloning makes life seem SO expendable. Either that, or it makes it seem that way since physically, it's the clone of the same person/people that keep dying, even though each clone would have different personalities. It's so unsettling.After that, life went back to being

Damn this series is so action packed. If you want a fast paced series this is one to go for.

This book was a borderline 3 star book. It started out as a 2 star book but moved up. Even though there was a lot of fast action, it was boring. I didn't have much feeling for the characters. Could be because I haven't read the first book in the series.
I moved it up to a 3 star book because it left me wanting to know what comes next. How does the story of Miranda continue?

This was the worst book. I really liked the first one, it was great. But they obviously had no idea what to do in this book. It COMPLETELY ruined this series for me. I picked it up at a library, all excited, and returned completely disappointed. It made no sense, and too many twists and aspects were thrown in. It was ridiculous. At first it seemed ok, but as it went on, it got less and less believable. Don't waste your time.

Very good but the ending was a little disappointing - a cliffhanger but missing that I have to find out what happens next pull.

Remember when I read False Memory in one sitting? Yes, well, the same thing happened to me with False Sight. I picked up the book and started reading, and before I knew it I was approaching the end! What is it about the False Memory series -- no, what is it about Dan Krokos's writing -- that makes me gobble down the books without stopping?
I swear, it's like he's got this formula down and knows how to pull the strings to keep my eyes on the pages.
- The book starts with an uncomfortable, somewhat urgent mystery, and even though the initial setting in False Sight was unfamiliar, I was very quickly brought around to the OMG phase that got me hooked.
- There is lots of action, and I was often left breathless trying to keep up, dying to see where Miranda and the others would end up (and what awaited them when they got there).
- The narration is familiar, comfortable, and interesting. Miranda feels like she could be one of my friends. She's curious, strong, and willing to fight for what she wants and believes.
- There were surprises awaiting me around so many corners. I love that every time I got comfortable with the lore and technology in the world, something new popped up. I still can't get over how cool it is that their suits are magnetic and she can just stick her sword on her back!
Look, I don't really know if this even counts as a review or just me listing the reasons I loved this book. The point is, False Sight was an excellent follow-up to False Memory and I was truly impressed by the increase in scale here. Things became even more urgent, the conflicts grew much bigger than I expected, the technology got even more awesome, and I was even more caught up in it all than I thought I would be.
The Planet Thieves may have turned me into a Dan Krokos fan, but False Sight has confirmed that with great accord.
[NOTE: I read this book as an ARC, borrowed from my sister, who receives many, many awesome things in her mailbox.]
