A review by branch_c
Broken Angels by Richard K. Morgan
3.0
Extremely polished writing and some very cool SF speculations, as I remember from Morgan's earlier book, Altered Carbon.
Kovacs is a great POV character, written clearly enough that you think you know him well, yet he can still surprise you by doing something that's unexpected, while, on reflection, logical.
I could have done without quite so much of the graphic violence and other stuff that added to the overall "grittiness" of the story. Well-written though they were, I enjoyed those scenes less than the rest of the book.
Overall, enjoyable for the smart concepts and smooth writing; at some point I could be in the mood for more from Morgan.
