Is this the one where he goes into the weird tech world dimension? Every time I read Hambly it has an alternate dimension thing going on and I didn't like that this book went there. That journey though hell stuff was kinda disappointing for me. It was also kinda confusing, although maybe that's because I didn't like it too much and was doing a bit of skimming just to get it over with.

The book is quite dark and I was going what is going on. It was then I found out that the author was going through a bad patch in her life and it showed in her writing. All in all, it is a good read, except you just wished the characters did not have to go through such a rough spot. If you loved the first book, and do not want the idealistic picture to be shattered, do not read this book. But if you do, things improve in the next book, so it is worth going on.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the third book of the series, and admittedly when I was suddenly reading sci-fi and fantasy on the same page, I almost stopped reading; it was too jarring. However, I kept going, and even though my mind was split, and I thought the threads of the story would stray too fair, I found them braided at the end. I'm still unsure of what to expect, but I'll be reading the fourth and final book to see how this story unfolds.

This book is good. I don't love it, but it's hard to point to anything wrong with it. I don't mind dark and depressing. I think maybe it's just that the characterization is just too repetitive. The characters don't seem to grow at all throughout the books. Like they just start out perfect.

Still a great installment of a great series, but I don't think I was a fan of the abrupt turn into Blade Runner territory.
