This book takes up the story of the protagonist a decade in the future. Some somewhat advanced technology gives this a light SF feel, and much of the book is spent on describing life in a gaming company.
I didn't find this volume compelling at all. It barely kept my interest for the first two thirds, and the rest was full of bizarre twists that felt completely at odds with the rest of the story, both in tone and in content. I felt like it tried to be surprising and deep, but instead ended up disjointed, superficial and all over the place. It's a very different book to the first volume, even if most characters do reappear, and in parts it's even very different to itself. I'm still unsure how to describe it - it clumsily mixes several genres into an incoherent whole - but I definitely believe the first volume works much better on its own.
