Same general format and idea as the first in the series, but not nearly as engaging. There was a lot of battling, and not as much of the suspense-building as the first.

Realized i wasnt ready for another scary, gruesome, tense, dark story right after the last one!

I got to 28% but was super bored and can't be bothered to follow along.

Boring, boring, boring. I skimmed the last 100 pages so I could find out how it ended. [b:Robopocalypse|9634967|Robopocalypse (Robopocalypse, #1)|Daniel H. Wilson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327885891s/9634967.jpg|14247828] was an exciting read, although it drizzled off at the end a bit -- this one was a slog all the way through. Very disappointing.

A solid entry, that leaves the journalistic trappings mostly to the side in this iteration. Had a weak conclusion and strong nihilistic overtones that hurt the pacing, but the exploration of the developing world was engaging. New challenges and dilemnas faced returning characters, while being helped by a strong supporting cast.

Ugh. Well that was brain-bruising violent. In the end the threads all came together but through most of the book it didn't make a whole lot of sense. There were just a lot of threads. A different view on post-singularity and not a positive one. Lots of nasty scary automation. And uncomfortable and un-fun book. And none of the characters were all that approachable. And it wasn't clear why Mathilda and her ilk could do what they did. But always interesting if not a particularly fast read.
