Three stars? Maybe? I don't really know here. On one hand, this is a nice follow-up to the opening volume. It continues the plot and character development for all the varied story arcs, and adds new complications and elements to the world.If I had to explain this series, I'd say something like, "Mad science alternate history where everyone's a sociopath." If that sounds good to you, you'll probably enjoy the series.... right up until the end of the 4th volume. It's a fun ride up until then, but then things go off the rails, and the main story lines never reach closure.So... three stars? Maybe?
