I had a really hard time with this one. I love the concept of the different dimensions and the alien bug-like creatures trying to invade ours. But...it just seems to have gotten a little too big for itself. I can tell the book is trying to ramp the plot line for an epic conclusion, but along the way, it just falls a little flat. It seems like the story is constantly trying to out-do itself over and over again.
Eventually, I started to fall into the story a little, but I couldn't really start to like some of the characters again. Their actions are selfish and manipulative, even though the book claims they are being altruistic and self-sacrificing. I just couldn't buy it. They didn't seem genuine.
It's too bad that it took this turn because the world was quite interesting. I don't know that I'll be finishing this series.

This is the second book in the Mortal Machines series and it's another "more than five star" rating for this very satisfied reader. What a ride! The writing skill of this author is amazing. This book played like a movie in my head as Soldiers became Sentinels and bonds were formed. A family was formed. Beautiful! Asher and Addison fought so hard. It all came down to the last minute.
Brilliant storytelling! A sci-fi paranormal romance like no other. I am so excited to read the next book, Forever Dusk.
