I didn't really like this book at all. It's so far off the rails from where it started that it feels like a completely different series. Almost everything that I loved about the first novel is gone. Instead, we have a story that tries to be far more philosophical instead of one that deals with two different worlds and the repercussions of them interacting with one another.
Time travel plays a big part here, and many of the characters spend most of their time arguing or explaining the difference between what has happened and what will happen. It gets extremely confusing and frustrating.
In the end, I would still recommend the first novel in the series, as it's a complete story and is one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. After that, I would recommend disregarding what follows.
