A big drop off from the first book.
There's an epidemic at a neighbouring station. The guy from the first book--changed by its happenings--wants to end it. A local eccentric wants to go with him and write his story. A girl they pick up on the way wants to save him and help him regain his humanity. A bard will attempt to lure her away with promises of a cure.
It's almost all within the metro itself this time, but save a few standouts, the stations themselves don't have as much of a character, and the story itself feels more of a sidequest than the main event that the first undoubtedly was.
