• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.75

No one likes the protagonist which is ironic given how much more likeable he and most whom he surrounds himself with have gotten since the gritty first instalment. There is considerably less edge to this book making for a more pleasant read of what is still a very unpleasant world. 

On top of which character development no longer gets in the way of plot coherency.
