Shattered Minds by L.R. Lam

5.0

Here's where I have to admit something: I didn't love the first book in this series (False Hearts). I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it. I found the world fascinating, but for some reason, I found the characters hard to connect with. I suspect very strongly that this has nothing at all to do with the book itself, but rather my own reader brain and the headspace that I was in when I read it.

Obviously, I was intrigued enough by the world in general in the books to pick up Shattered Minds. And I do not regret it one little bit, because I adored this book. I loved all of the characters, but especially the complex, fascinating (and sometimes slightly horrifying to read) Carina. I fell more in love with the worldbuilding and the technology that Lam imagines. This one hooked me on the first page, and kept me hooked for the whole length of the book.
