3.0

The sequel to Turbulence is a lot like a movie sequel — much bigger and broader, much more focused on action, but not as in-depth on the characters and the world, and exciting without necessarily feeling as innovative or engaging. A whole lot goes on here, and the many, many fights move very quickly. It's another breathless read that feels like it was designed as much for the screen as for the page. I enjoyed the experience, without always feeling like the story cohered together, or like I still had much sense of the characters as they all became props in a long series of high-octane setpieces, arguments, speeches, and sudden plot reversals.
