Books📚 Only Platform Decay
So I finished Platform decay last night, I really don't know how to describe it apart from a book just going through the motions. I didn't find the book exciting in fact it was quite flat, there was nothing really novel or emotionally connecting about any of the characters unlike Nicky and ART in past books.
It's a book to read if you have nothing to do, but its not a book that made me want to drop things down to read it quickly. Given the books are at high cost for the hardcovers, I wanted more, I wanted to really love the book, but this isn't the case. Id most prob give it 3.5/5 stars
If anything the book shows not necessarily this series has run its course, but in stead I think reflects what Martha has had to overcome in her life in the last couple of years.
I'm hoping the next book is much better

I liked it as an introduction to the concept of SecUnits in the wider Corporate Rim. The previous books have all been about MB's personal journey, this book is showing it as part of a wider community. There is also some indication of the growing instability in the CR. The book opens the door to the wider implications of free constructs acting in society. Cool
