4.0
This is a decent middle book. A little worse than the first, but definitely not boring.
My favorite parts are the descriptions of life in New Pretty Town. I like the way the Star Trek-like tech is described, the parties, the cosmetic surgeries they get.
In terms of the pace, it lingered where it was interesting, and breakneck when it wasn't, which I appreciate.
I knock it down to a 4 because it's a transition book, which always makes the ending frustrating, as well as the overused slang.
