A big drop off from the first book.

There's an epidemic at a neighbouring station. The guy from the first book--changed by its happenings--wants to end it. A local eccentric wants to go with him and write his story. A girl they pick up on the way wants to save him and help him regain his humanity. A bard will attempt to lure her away with promises of a cure.

It's almost all within the metro itself this time, but save a few standouts, the stations themselves don't have as much of a character, and the story itself feels more of a sidequest than the main event that the first undoubtedly was.

Thought the writings style was super bad, absolutely didn’t like it

The translation was terrible

2012: Når inte samma höjder som föregångaren.

2020: Jag tror en brist med boken är att den tematiskt sett upprepar sens moralen från [b:Metro 2033|17274667|Metro 2033 (Metro, #1)|Dmitry Glukhovsky|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1379621430l/17274667._SY75_.jpg|5729918], men utan att lyckas återskapa den fascination och nyfikenhet det innebar att tillsammans med Artiom utforska denna underjordiska värld. Det är lite same-same, helt enkelt. Och väldigt pretentiöst.
