I suppose I shouldn't be surprised when we're talking crazy pseudo-science, but I am still very confused as to what exactly just happened.

In volume 2, Adam Hardy is paired with a new partner, Rosa Reyes, and is sent up to investigate events in Nakeet, Alaska. Possibly the weirdest small town ever, things go predictably wrong and Cicero and an old friend end up dragging Adam and Rosa into increasingly more bizarre circumstances.
Did not even begin to understand the science behind this one but I liked the concept a lot and the relationships between the various mentally unstable characters was interesting and believable. Worth picking up if you like hard sci fi.

3.5. The art style is so stellar but I'm definitely not smart enough to understand what's going on here

I think the problems I had reading this were me, not the book - I just didn't understand what was going on! Physics hard.

Still intriguing, but there's still a mystery pervading the series that has yet to be answered. Plus, re-entering the world of 'FBP' so long after reading the first volume is like something coming out of left field.

So far in this series, I have really struggled to finish the volume. Maybe its because physics wasn't ever something I studied or maybe its because of the way these stories are written. I feel like I'm constantly having to flip back and forth through what I just read to make sure that I wasn't forgetting a part or if I actually knew what was going on. While the illustrations and coloring are absolutely gorgeous, the plot and dialogue often don't measure up for me. I still feel mildly curious about the rest of the story though, so I might just keep reading...even if it takes a while.

This was a weaker volume than the first. The plot diverged from Adam Hardy's mad attempt to find out about his father and his father's unfinished paper to an experimental station in Nakeet, Alaska where Adam and Rosa take part in an experiment. The whole volume seemed to be a little more world-building and character-building, but I still don't feel like I know that much about Rosa or about Adam. Besides being an interesting mystery-adventure, I don't think this volume added much to the series.

Tough book to rate. I guess I'm giving it 3 stars as I'm going to give the next volume a try. The story is a bit confusing - maybe that should be expected when dealing with the topic of quantum reality. But the story feels confusing and the art doesn't help - at times i have no idea what the artist is depicting or where the characters are. I'm intrigued that I'm so confused that i want to see if the story will eventually make sense.
