3.0

Okay, this book was a cool concept but had a lot of issues. First off, the chapters are so short and there are so many various characters that you never really connect to any of them. In fact I spent most of the time trying to remember who all the assorted people were and why they were important. It didn't help that many of them were returning from The Peripheral, which I read a while ago and didn't really remember much of. I don't remember this being marketed as a sequel when I first heard about it, but it definitely is and you definitely would be helped by knowing all the characters from the first book. That aside, not a lot actually happens. Most characters simply do what they're told and the ending is rather anti-climactic. So between the poorly developed cast and the sketchy plot, this book was a bit of a let down. Which is frustrating because I was so excited about the concept. Argh!
