A review by wiseard
The Line of Polity by Neal Asher
3.0
A marked improvement over the first book in the series. But still plagued by the same problems. Asher really doesn't like to solve things in a proper manner it seems.
I also disliked Skellor, maybe because I recently read Malazan and every time I read his name all I could think was Kallor. It didn't help that the beasts he was experimenting on had similar names to Kallor either. That aside it was a bit of a cardboard villain, nothing really developed.
We did get some character improvements in this book at least. But the 14 year old who becomes Rambo leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
All in all not enough to change the rating yet.
