The Dystopia Chronicles by Matthew Mather
3.0
I definitely enjoyed this, and will absolutely read the final book in this trilogy (I already have it downloaded on my Kindle, so it would somewhat suck if I decided not to) - however, I felt the plot was slightly more confused than The Atopia Chronicles; which is quite funny really, because realistically The Atopia Chronicles actually has a lot more scene setting. The Great Destroyer plot and Bob being the fourth horseman of the apocalypse was interesting, but confused me, and I finished the novel very confused as to whether I was meant to view the Destroyer as good or bad. I have no idea.
Something I really did like about this book though was that Mather changed the narration - in The Atopia Chronicles, everything was written in first person, and considering there were about ten different points of view, it could get SO confusing over who was talking, and remembering names was far harder. In this book, the sequel, he changed to writing in third person; and this made it much easier to follow. It also tied up the loose storyline about Olympia, and the storyline it's setting up with that - sheesh!
Overall it was good, didn't enjoy it as much as The Atopia Chronicles, but it was still good and I am really really looking forward to reading the finale, The Utopia Chronicles.
