Alex M's Reviews > Engines of Oblivion

I spent the majority of this book being pretty confused about what was going on, why, and how. Maybe some of this is intentional due to the memory situation that's at play, but if it was then it wasn't executed well. At some point I was reading just to finish the book and not necessarily because I was invested in any particular way. Due to the confusing plot and unlikeable characters, I really didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one in the series. There's also no strong relationships between any characters in the book - everyone either dislikes each other or engages with each other and situations in a rather emotionless (and sometimes confusing) way. And in the last 10% or so of the story it just got pretty unbelievable, even in the universe of the book, with what was happening. Unfortunately, this whole book just didn't know how to execute what it wanted to do.
