Aama: 4. You Will Be Amazing, My Daughter by Frederik Peeters
2.0
First off, the series as a whole. Beautiful artwork, interesting story, and a good model for science fiction - a solid 3 stars.
This book, however, left me flat. After three episodes of world building and plot exploration, this starts at the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey and then veers into the territory of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
"What does God need with a starship?" Or indeed, what does Aama need with one? Aren't most of the human race connected with (hackable) neural implants? Didn't Aama take over most of the robots, leaving only a multi-page battle with Roosevelt? Anyhow, beautiful art aside, this ending book felt rushed and the story incomplete.
