it's a good book, but I'm a bit critical of it. 
 1. It doesn't have the questions the first book had. I mean, there were so many unknowns driving the first book. here it is all out in the open. we even know things the protagonists don't know. So I don't feel it has as much suspense. 
 2. It feels like most of the book is camera footage (plus some chat logs). The format doesn't seem as effective. 
 3. I feel like this book would have benefited so much with some diversity. It felt so blandly white - even more than the first one, and especially so because of the "bad guys ". Here we have a list of people of all genders, nationalities etc. But really what this "diverse" list is, is a list of red shirts to be ticked off. the "real" bad guy is white, everyone is white. I wonder how much rounder the story might have been if the main guy had been part of the Japanese Yakuza, for instance. 
 It was a good book, just felt like it could have been better. .
