Not so much the details of the shattered technical base, the genetic manipulation, the monsters and human responses to same. A lot of that has to do with worldbuilding. Outside of that, the book holds together very well. Given Enoch has been presented as being “bad at emotions”, then the reader has a reasonable expectation that we should get to see him struggling with them – especially when he’s deciding to turn his back on someone who’s apparently been helping him, to help someone who might be lying to him. But we never get to see him make that decision. Granted, he’s leaving the side of some pretty bad guys, and he has seen some of the horrible things they do. But there’s a critical point in the story in which the major character, Enoch, has fallen in with one side, and then a few pages later switches to the other. It has interesting settings, characters, and good characterization… most of the time. Etherwalker, by Cameron Dayton Etherwalker on Amazon
