Elena 's Reviews > City of Illusion

Not as great as the first one, I'm sad to say, but still a solid sequel/conclusion to the story. The mechas, which were a surprising but welcome surprise in book one, seem a bit off this time around. Maybe because the mystery plot changes and introduces a lot of characters that don't seem to have a lot of space in the narrative to properly develop, and the ending seems rushed and contains a lot of information. Maybe this just needed another installment to properly develop the whole alien twist and some more details on the underlying story that guides the protagonists' journey.
I still loved the artwork, the colours, the fluidity of the lineart. It was a bit hard to follow some panels, though, which was never the case with the first book even when it was a lot more difficult to portray the moving city. Still, all's well that ends well.
