Anarchy Missing

I'm so glad I didn't let my less than excited response to Anarchy Found keep me from continuing this series - Anarchy Missing was so much better! I think that the key was the characters. I like Lulu and Case SO MUCH better than Lincoln and Molly. Lincoln and Molly are ok, but their Sci-Fi aspects were a bit much for me. It kind of overwhelmed me, I guess and my the story a bit much.

But Lulu and Case are fairly normal. Lulu IS normal. She's an Assistant DA and she's just getting swept up into this mad world because of Case and a case (lol!) she's assigned. Case definitely has some weird shit going on, but nothing to the extent of Lincoln and he still came across as a mainly normal guy and their relationship felt more real and authentic because of it, I think.

The plot worked a bit more for me too. I could follow it better, perhaps in part because of the characters and also because I'm more familiar with the world already. Things aren't as shocking or confusing. I'm excited to see the full completion of their plan to take over the city and defeat prodigy, so I can't wait to read the next book.

Side note -- this book had more mention of Anarchy/Anarchists than Anarchy Found, and yet still, the mentions were quite minor. I'm not sure I get the connection and the titles of the books... I'm either missing something or I'll get it at the end.

Oh and I'm really missing the End of Book Shit from Julie... IDK if it's just missing from the audio or from these books completely? The narration is great though and I'm really glad I did these books in audio :)
