I'd swear I've read this before, perhaps in two or three other books. What kept me reading was the idea of once you've escaped from the web/matrix/whatever, going back because of family. Not only going back, but bringing friends with you. But beyond that? Yawn.

Maybe I just waited too long after reading the first book.

It hurts me to DNF this, but I just could not get into this. I tried, I really did. I'm sorry, but I just have to part ways with this book.

Sitting down with this book, I knew I was in for some unpredictability. The first book managed to keep me guessing, so I knew Emma wouldn’t disappoint. She didn’t. There is a point, the crossover between one chapter and the next where I honestly had to put the book down, walk away, and reevaluate my life. It was that soul shattering.
This book will make you feel things. Not all of them pretty.
I will admit, I was heavily invested in this sequel. Coda was one of my favorite books that came out last year, and I was a little worried this one would fall short of that mark. It didn’t. It’s different, without becoming completely foreign.
Switching to Alpha as the protagonist and perspective was an interesting and wonderful choice. Anthem would not have made sense as the hero of this book, and it was wonderful to get to know and love the woman she had become after the initial version of her from Coda. She was not always the easiest to sympathize with, but then, I cannot imagine myself in her place.
Seriously people, read this book.

I'm going with 3.5 stars on this one. Chorus was the sequel to Coda, a dystopian cyberpunk, scifi novel with lots of revolution. This book focused on Anthem's younger sister, Alpha, after the war with the Corp. There is still a problem with tracking, but less now that people have choice. Alpha is now in California and Hope's to find a cure for what happened to her and her twin, Omega, when they were forced to track in Coda. I had a hard time being interested in this book for some reason. I just didn't connect with Alpha and didn't care for a lot of the other characters. I was shocked at one twist I wasn't expecting, and that was the most emotionally invested I got. I still think the concept of this series was interesting, using music as an addictive drug. I still love the way Trevayne write about music. It's so visual.
