I read online somewhere that some people say this is the weakest, and maybe I get it. The bulk here has more world building, but it also gets darker and more grim. I also think some of the audiobook had has improvements over the previous one. For example, the text chats now have a lil' sound. The AI has gotten more sassy. It's overall going in the right direction to kepe me intrigued with additional characters, additional RPG elements, additional 'God damn it Donuts!'
