The Unincorporated War by Eytan Kollin, Dani Kollin
4.0
I really like this and am excited to see where it goes. I don't think it quite lived up to the first one, but I never think the second books ever do >.<
In this sequel to The Unincorporated Man, war has broken out between the core planets and the outer civilizations following attempts at force "psych-audits" of the people from the outer alliance and the unincorporated man himself.
First of all, it kills me anytime someone says "anyways." I'm sure in 300 years, as language is living, that could become the proper thing to say, but it's such a little thing to think that the authors did it intentionally. That's like my one huge grammar peeve, and the all characters say it quite often.
I'm really interested in how the avatar's storyline will play out. In the first novel, I thought the avatars storyline didn't really fit and were it taken out, nothing would change, except for the one line where Neela wonders if Justin's avatar is more advanced. In this novel, you can see more of a melding of the two worlds, especially at the end where the avatars finally take action and cause things to happen in the "real" world.
I like that I'm kept guessing over who will win the war. The action scenes are fun, though you know there's always going to be subterfuge on both sides, often multiple time per fight.
Overall, it's a fun read. I never found it boring and look forward to reading the next one. Sometimes they'll try to explain how something in the future became that way which irked me since it reflected a misunderstanding of history and the present, but that stuff is overall a small portion of the novel.
