3.0

I loved the first book. The idea of a mechanical version of a biosphere with evolution and DNA and everything was awesome. This didn't add much new. There were the creator aliens, that were kind of annoying because they were jerks.

The plot took a sudden left turn, like the book became a different book.

I think I remember liking the main character before. Today I might not be so impressed by the "smartest guy in the room, who is also a conman" type character. He was not featured so much in this, so harder to judge. No other significant characters, other than an annoying creator alien.

I kind of did like the way they showed the war, though.
