So I was really excited to get my hands on an ARC copy. I absolutely adored the first one, and couldn't believe there would be a sequel. The premise is good, but it unfortunately wasn't as good as the first for me. I just never really felt like there was a plot to this book. It focused a lot on 'human rights'. I did really enjoy the description of the changes to our world, and the new technology. I wanted so much more. Also, the ending was left open so there could be another novel. I did enjoy it, but just didn't feel completely connected to Locke. A good read for fans of the first novel. It just didn't wow me as much.
