Lotus Blue — Cat Sparks

Lotus Blue -- Cat SparksI really enjoyed the book right up until the end, which just didn’t seem to come up to the standard of the rest of the book.   After a really enthralling adventure it really felt like the ending was rushed to its conclusion.

It’s not too far fetched to imagine a future like the one depicted within this book, or the causes for it.   The more we begin to rely on drones and augmented soldiers to fight wars, slowly but surely handing over more and more control to computer intelligence, the closer we get to the characters in the book and ultimately entities like Lotus Blue.

I’m hoping the ending in this book isn’t the end and that there’ll be more books in this dystopian future.
