A review by melofgreengables
Métro 2034 by Dmitry Glukhovsky

2.0

The characters in “Metro 2033” are not the most fleshed out, not to mention that there are barely any women at all, but the book’s many qualities outweight its flaws. However, in this one, the flaws stand out. The girl character is a pitiful sexist cliché and the big, tough, so-called “mysterious” male character has as much personality as a thick piece of cardboard. The old man who serves as a main character could be interesting with his storytelling and memories, but he’s drowned in the surrounding mess. The plot is paper thin and the rich atmosphere that made the first book so captivating is but a fleeting memory.
