Review: 3.5 to be fair

I read the first book after it received an edit-makeover, so a few typos here/there weren't a big deal.  This book picks up the story of Central, Alex, Eerie, etc and is a fun enough run.  The Anathema are blacksheep Operators hell-bent to change the face of politics and we see some more positioning from Ana which sets up the next book.  Alex is still the blundering slacker - he really hasn't changed too much and it feels like he is too slow on the hero arc, which I'm confident this series is scripting.  His friends are still plotting and or covering secrets and Alex is slow to 'ask the right questions'.  However, you get to learn more about the other main characters and it keeps you motivated to read book 3.
