Great characters but with hokey pokey plot points 
 I'm a serious fence sitter when it comes to Midnight City. It started with great action right from page one - showed us a bit of mean post apocalyptic human behavior, but what really reeled me in was when the aliens came on the scene and sent everyone scurrying. I won't tell how, but it got my blood pumping and me jonezing for more. 
 Then all of a sudden things get hokey. I was expecting more alien and it felt like I got magic or fantasy instead. All of the stuff about"strange lands artifacts" and combining them together to get the contraptions to do certain things. It didn't throw me completely off the book, but I was mildly annoyed by it. 
 The idea of how the people succumb to the Tone and start going towards the Alien motherships uncontrollably was a cool idea. Having it show up visibly in the eyes was a great tension builder. I liked the three main characters and how the relationships slowly build and become more attached. It was well done and distracted me from the things I didn't like about the story. For instance, Midnight city and its point system...so stupid that I made ugly faces every time it was mentioned. 
 Overall, enjoyable but I don't know if I'd continue.
