I really like this series. The female character is strong and interesting, and the mystery around the leading male character pushes the story forward. I can understand why it's gotten a lot of criticism on goodreads because it is a little confusing and character development is weak but it's still a good story.

Better than the first volume, but it's still hard to connect to any of the characters or get invested in the mythology of this series. Thankfully the rushed nature of the first volume isn't present here and with the groundwork already set you do get a chance to dig into the inner workings of the world Wilson is creating, but it still seems like a mish-mash of different ideas that don't really gel together. *Sigh* I don't know why I'm doing this, but I'll dig into volume 3 and see if it continues to get better or not.

Odd and weird and definitely pretentious. But a cool book and a good read. Sure ancient technology gets old fast, but I haven't read much on that in some time so I suppose it's time. And there's still something odd by eye-catching about the art. And the pacing was interesting - not so much flashback as just starting the story earlier. And then the bits in the airport just ended up feeling very personal and believable. Very druggy book but not psychedelic.

This was more confusing for me than the first volume, but I still found it interesting. Wondering what mistake Blythe made....

With the destination set (characters being known, set-ups being done, situations and info revealed), the second volume wastes NO TIME with bringing you into the story. It picks up where the first volume left off, soaring further into the air, bringing up new mysteries, situations and reveals while slightly slowing down the pace to focus on the characters and the world outside of "the big conspiracy".
Wonderfully written, perfectly drawn... If you're a comics fan and haven't read this, you're in for a treat!

I wanted this book to make more sense and connections than the first one, because I felt like what the plot was attempting to do was pretty cool. Unfortunately, while it cleared some things up, it wasn't enough to leave me wanting to read any further, especially with the combination of lousy artwork.

while I found the start to this series a little convoluted, it all pays off here. mk perker's art reminds me of sandman, or another era of comics really. it plays in really nicely with the time/place amorphousness of the series.
