The Deaths of Tao by Wesley Chu

4.0

I liked the first one better, but this one's still enjoyable. The beginning's kind of jarring, having skipped over a bunch of important life events for Roen in what seems like a short period of time. The first book ended left me thinking that his life would start getting better now that he had a handle on things, but that's promptly smashed with the first few chapters of this one, where his life still sucks but on a whole new level. Also similar to the first one, this one ends on a pretty unnecessary cliffhanger.
