richardwells's review against another edition
3.0
Hugely derivative of Blade Runner (the movie,) and even a touch of Martin Cruz Smith - his Arkady Renko novel that partially takes place in Chernobyl. I have a feeling there are any number of other robot, replicant, android stories mixed in. Anyway, all the tropes, lots of violence, a little replicant philosophy, and added sex made for an entertaining read. The best thing about it is the characters - very likable.
My wife read it in the original Spanish, I read it in English, and that was fun, but it's beyond me how she possibly understood the first line of chapter 20, here rendered in English: The surface of the recently liquified dermosilicone was iridescently oily.
Fun.

Esté segundo libro me gusto más que el primero. Doy gracias que no me este repitiendo cada dos párrafos el conteo para su muerte. Si lo dice pero ya más esporádico.
Vemos una Bruna más "humana" muestra más sus sentimientos hasta con el pobre Bartolo. Pero también creo que es un libro un poco más oscuro porque vemos criticas a muchas situaciones y conductas bastante difíciles.

Suite des aventures de la charismatique Bruna Husky, détective, poivrote et dépressive. Cette seconde enquête rassemble toutes les qualités du premier volume, avec un peu de plus de profondeur encore puisque l’on apprend à connaître toujours un peu plus Bruna.
[Vous pouvez lire la suite sur mon blog, merci :)]

Un placer leer libros tan bien escritos. Asimov estaría verde de envidia ;-)

Veredicto: Soy un gran fan de Bruna Husky y en este libro quizá aún más, pero la trama tiene muchos huecos desafortunadamente.
Hay que leerlo si: Quieres leer más sobre el mundo de Bruna y los replicantes.
Pero cuidado con: Algunos personajes son innecesarios o están desdibujados (Yannis, Gaby) y la trama parece un poco forzada.
Frase(s) favoritas: “Escogemos lo que queremos ver, y nuestro mundo no es más que una traducción muy reducida del mundo.”
El personaje y el mundo de Bruna Husky son tan fascinantes que estoy listo para la tercera entrega.

The Characters are not my favorite. Bruna and her overly sexualized ideas and desires make me cringe. But the world, the technohumans, aliens, and society overall - awesome.
I will continue the series, hope the weird sexual ideas Bruna has and her inability to communicate to her lover( or whatever he is) are not as present in the next one.
The romance is very weak, not to say I hated it.

Soooo...I won this as a Goodreads
Giveaway. I really liked the blurb but apparently did not pay attention to the big #2 next to the series name! Fortunately, since I do have KU I have access to the first book in the series so as soon as I'm finished with that one I'll be jumping into this one :)
