A review by wiseard
Dark Intelligence by Neal Asher
1.0
The first book in this series I actually disliked. The climax of the book was such a convoluted mess that it didn't inspire me to actually want to finish the book.
The main character has no character and the plot has few redeeming points. I especially disliked Spear's chapters since they're the only ones in first person. Seems that the author probably tried to rectify the issues with characters having undifferentiated narrative lenses so instead of actually fixing it he tried to just change the person narrating the main character. To me this is not enough.
Developments of the Polity Universe at large are still very cool and it's the only reason I still continue.
