Solitary

In some ways this book was a disappointment after the high the first installment delivered. But in some ways ending it with an escape in the first book would have been shortchanging the reader. And so Solitary seems necessary. And solitary is by no means a bad book. It is a must for a prison novel and AGS ticks all the boxes but does not make being in the “hole” as scary as it should be. We spend way to less time with our friends in there but the rest of the plot moves at rocket speed. We meet new players and get to know some more about the old one. We say goodbyes to a few more and many of these are tear jerking. The writing remains strong as ever. Onwards!
