Fractured Truth by Susan Furlong
2.0
This is another one of those books which I loved the first book but didn't like the second one. This is what I said about book #1:
"So overall I liked the book because it was very easy to read, had an interesting backdrop, likeable characters, straightforward plot... and the dog! I will definitely follow the next in the series when it comes out!"
I found book 2 not have the same characteristics. OK, it was still easy to read. The backdrop was still interesting but the author kept reminding us of it; too much I thought. I get it, the Travelers are discriminated against. The characters were still likeable but lacked the intensity of the first book, I felt they were flat and uninteresting. The plot was where it got me, it was long and unfocused. In the end, I just didn't feel it, I didn't feel the characters this time and the plot took forever to get going. I dnf'ed at 64%. I would have thought that I should might as well finish it since I got so far but I just don't care enough about the characters to do so.
