The Labyrinth Index

This review is based on an ARC given to me for free by the publisher via Netgalley. This does not in any way affect my review. This book is slated for release on October 30, 2018.

...there are still aspects of this book that readers will find enjoyable ??? in particular, the characters. I am glad that the author has started writing about the female characters of his series, and was especially pleased with his portrayal of Mo O???Brien in The Annihilation Score. When I found out that The Labyrinth Index would be narrated by Mhari, I was doubly excited because it would be a chance for readers to really get to know her, as opposed to knowing about her from Bob and Mo who are, it must be admitted, not exactly unbiased when it comes to their opinions about her. The Labyrinth Index reveals that, while there is a reason Bob and Mhari did not get along, and why Mo???s reservations about her are somewhat justified, there is more to her than what Bob and Mo have said about her. I would not say that she is a very good person, but she is an interesting character, flawed and broken but ??? and this is the important bit ??? capable of overcoming her weaknesses for the greater good (and the survival of herself and those she values, of course). I do not like her as much as I like Mo, but at the very least she is interesting and entirely human.
