Much deeper meaning that I definitely missed, which lowered the reading experience.
Still not good (and just don't let me start on the sexism; or the plot holes; or rehashing pseudo-philosophical thoughts that were said too often and mostly much better) but definitely better than the first part of the series. A lot of more atmospheric and without the distinct feeling of reading a role-playing game with the GM throwing in more and more obstacles so that the story does not end too early, which the first book had. The fact that this is not one of the simple-boys-has-to-become-a-hero books and a good feeling for the setting definitely helps. More of one and a half stars book, but given how the first one got just one star, I did not have the heart to give this one only one, too.
Siento que este libro tenía cosas interesantes pero no me terminó de funcionar para mí
Al sumergirme en esta continuación del mundo metro, experimenté una fascinación y tensión que me mantuvo completamente cautivada de principio a fin.
La narrativa magistral de Dmitry me llevó de vuelta al oscuro y claustrofóbico mundo del metro de Moscú, donde cada página estaba impregnada de una atmósfera misteriosa y llena de suspenso.
La exploración de nuevos personajes (Homer, Sasha) y sus luchas personales, añadió una capa de complejidad emocional a la trama, haciéndome sentir una conexión profunda con sus experiencias y desafíos.
Dos puntos clave que destacan son: el regreso del icónico personaje Hunter, cuya presencia evoca un sentido de nostalgia y misterio; y la revelación de una nueva amenaza que plantea interrogantes sobre el futuro del metro y sus habitantes.
Es una obra maestra del género postapocalíptico que no solo cumple con las expectativas de los fanáticos de la saga, sino que también ofrece una experiencia de lectura emocionante y conmovedora para cualquier amante de la buena literatura universal.
Ahora, ¿cómo llegarán a entrelazarse estas 2 partes en relación a la 3ra? No veo las horas de continuar con el desenlace en Metro 2035.

I think the reason this writers sexism wasn’t as apparent in the first book was because there weren’t any female characters to butcher. This one seems like someone either from the 1800’s trying to write a female character, or a teenager. First book was fantastic, as was book 1.5. I almost regret the time I spent listening to this one.
I returned to the Moscow Underground. Ironically, Metro 2034 is the sequel to Metro 2033! When I listened to the first book in the trilogy my setting was perfect - it was November and the dark, cold, commutes and dog walks were the perfect environment to experience the dystopian nightmare playing out in the post-war subway stations and tunnels of Moscow. I listened to the sequel on some of the longest, brightest days of the year, which didn't match the book's setting but the writer so perfectly depicts the settings of these books that it didn't matter. You feel like you are there.
Metro 2034 is more of a standalone book than a sequel. Only two characters from Metro 2033 returned for this book- Artyom, the protagonist of the first book in a very limited role, and the militant madman, Hunter. The sequel has three main characters: the aforementioned Hunter, who is on a mission to find out what caused his home station, Sevastopolskaya Station, to lose contact with some of the central stations it traded with; Homer, an old man writing a history of the Underground and who decides to join Hunter on his quest; and Sasha, and orphaned teenage girl fleeing the station she and her father were banished from. Along the way they meet a plethora of interesting characters, experience a gamut of post-nuclear horrors, and discover the reason for the loss of communication.
When I read Metro 2033 I printed out a map of the Moscow Underground to follow the path of Artyom's quest, there were so many stations visited and I became disoriented. In the sequel, the plot moved slower and less stations were visited so I was able to keep my bearings without my map. The author is particularly good at character development and world building. I've read a lot of dystopian novels but nothing like these two.
I listened to both books on Audible and the narrator, Rupert Degas, was great. All of the characters had variations of Russian accents and I was able to follow along easily. I hope he narrates the finale, Metro 2035 which I am looking forward to using my next Audible credit on.
I didn't like this as much as Metro 2033 but I'm rounding my 3.5 star rating to 4 stars because of the great writing. and compelling mystery.
