A review by badmc
Assassin of Reality by Sergey Dyachenko, Marina Dyachenko

3.5

A continuation of the interesting, uncanny, and uncomfortable first book that finished in the best way possible (in my humble opinion, of course). I was intrigued by this sequel, but ultimately, I could have done without it. 

We get to see the aftermath of the improbable failure and second chance at the dreaded Institute. It feels sped up, and condensed; while it rehashes familiar, and also some new questions about reality, perserverance, and grit. Still, I would've liked a bit more bite. The ending was fine.
