Elysium Fire by Alastair Reynolds
5.0
I enjoyed the heck out of this book. Its just as fun as the first book was. Its a fun detective procedural that has secrets to reveal throughout its entire length. It kept a good pace, and didn't try to hard to pay fan service to the first book, or the larger revelation space universe.
I have only two complaints:
1) The stakes seem considerably lower in this book. It felt kind of odd for a second book. The story feels almost less important that the first does in the grand scheme.
2) I read the audiobook version, and John Lee read a couple of characters with different voices than he did in the first book. Not a big deal, but it kind of irritated me a little bit.
