I Am the Mission by Allen Zadoff
3.0
I loved the first book in this series. This book, not so much. It is written the same way, with short, to-the-point sentences, and it has the same general vibe to it.
I felt I Am the Mission was written poorly. It seemed like the author was rushed to spit out another book in the series. Some of this may also be a result of bad editing. This book needed a final read-through before publishing. A couple sentences and ideas were (unintentionally) repeated, and an entire question and answer between two characters took place twice, in two different locations at different times. The same characters.
The main character was very sloppy in this book, and you would think that would make him more realistic, but it was kind of stupid how many simple mistakes he made. This was explained by lack of sleep, but still. The plot wasn't as interesting or deep as the one in the first book. I almost dnf. The one character I actually cared about was a return from the first novel.
I'm hopeful that the next book in this series will be better.
