Review: Great Potential; Execution Ends Up Being A Let Down
Rating: 2 out of 5

I had high hopes for this novel. Reading the opening chapters I was immediately engaged in the story. I especially liked the gritty action and the back drop of the mighty city in the nuclear ravaged world.Sadly, as the story progressed it lost momentum. Once Jonas was taken in by the Zorasters I felt like the tone of the story changed. The pacing became odd as well. The story would focus on slightly boring and repetitive plot points but then gloss over years at a time. By the time I reached book 2 I had lost interest and gave up (something I rarely do.)I think this author has potential but might have gotten a little too ambitious with the plot. As a result I feel like the story didn't live up to the promise shown in the opening chapters.Die-hard sci-fi fans who love idea of augmented humans being granted superhero powers and using them to lead a revolution in a dystopian future city might find something to enjoy here but casual readers should probably skip this one.
