3.0

The premise for this book, Cradle meets The Matrix, had the potential to be a very entertaining and engaging story. Unfortunately, it falls far short of that, and to me at least, was rather bland having failed to capture my interest. 

The characters were all lacking that spark of personality that allows you to become invested in them, while the plot seemed to be on the verge of shifting up a gear but failing to do so. 

Overall, this was a disappointing read.
