seventhuncle's review against another edition
3.0
If you, unlike me, are able to just go with the story without letting it's issues annoy you, the premise is fun and interesting, but I kept stumbling while reading and this reduced the joy in my experience.
I don't like how stereotype Walton seems to paint his villains across books, making them hard to believe, especially if they make a turn from good to bad. This is his third book I've read, [b:Three Laws Lethal|42278924|Three Laws Lethal|David Walton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1539272713l/42278924._SY75_.jpg|65910240] is overall better, but with this same issue.
The closer the book comes to the end the faster events take place, to me it felt rushed, especially since it takes some time to get into the book, like as in other scifi the reader has to get to understand the new world first.
Using underlining instead of bold is different from what we are used to. Especially when this is also used to represent text messages and also thoughts it can cause irritations.
Am I happy to have read this book? Yes. Would I read it again, knowing about its issues? No.
