Review: Intriguing yet confusing

I read The Energy Scavengers by Ryan Sean O'Reilly first. It is the book before this one about maintenance robots and the tribal dynamic that develops after they are abandon by their alien creators. I found The Energy Scavengers to be a 5 star read.I was somewhat confused by this addition. The discernable plot is muddled and the finale was extremely confusing. The ending did not resolve the mystery built up throughout the story. The Energy Scavengers felt like a self contained story. The One Who Turned Them On does not feel like and stand alone story at all.I love the writing of Ryan Sean O'Reilly and perhaps this is over my head. The robot society and how they interact is refreshingly unique.
