Kudos to the author for the unique (to me) premise of mixing in puzzles along with the narrative, but unfortunately, I failed to connect with the protagonist (a 20-something female) and the urgency of her quest. I also expected much less in the way of magic/sorcery, and the prose was just a bit over the top with characterizations just a bit unbelievable.

The author successfully builds upon the universe(s) created in the first book of the series, with a diverse cast of characters, plenty of action, and dashes of philosophy, humor, and AI thrown into the mix. The resolution was both unexpected and wholly satisfying.
