A review by ryan_oneil
Lazarus, Vol. 2: Lift by Greg Rucka

4.0

A good continuation of the story. We get to see more of the world and more of Forever's past. We also meet some "waste." A couple of minor things kept it from being 5 stars but I still loved it.

There are allusions to how the world (or the country, anyway) came to such a dystopian place. As with all dystopian literature, I'm always curious about the transformation from what was to what is. I hope we get that in future volumes.

Rucka does his usual great job with characterization. The people and their struggles feel real and you care about the outcomes.

Plus, there's a lot of commentary about current society, including the plight of both women and the poor along with the nature of power.
