A Better World by Marcus Sakey
4.0
A good followup, but with a greater cliffhanger that I am not too pleased with. You pretty much see it coming 4 chapters away, largely because there isn't time left to clean up all that has been done before.
Ignoring the cliffhanger ending that tied up so little, it was still a good read. Starting to like the characters more as we explore their pasts, their motivations, etc. Even the switches in motivation / alliance seem to flow better then some other books I have read. I think its largely because from the outset you understand you are reading all of this from one person's perspective as he tries to unravel it all, and you know the people he is trying to understand are master planners. It feels more like a ride you are taking with Cooper and not simply turns added for the sake of throwing off the reader.
I am eagerly awaiting the next installment, though I hope its not too far off ...
