The Dystopia Chronicles

This is an excellent sequel to Mather's first book in the series, The Atopian Chronicles.

The Dystopian Chronicles begins where The Atopian Chronicles left off, and we're reunited with the characters we met in that first book as the story progresses. It's a rollercoaster ride of action and digital dissonance as the characters move back and forth from virtual to physical planes of existence and the secret behind Jimmy and his rise to power is finally revealed.

I will admit to being occasionally lost, or at least slightly confused, as the story moved through conundrums of occurrences, but that is no reflection on author Mather, just on this reader. Mr. Mather superbly brings everything to a logical and satisfying conclusion, wrapping up all the various threads into one neat, nice piece of work.

This, along with its predecessor, is an excellent read that will keep you engaged. I highly recommend The Dystopian Chronicles and look forward to the next book in the series.

I received a free ARC of this book for reviewing purposes.

I did not enjoy this book the way I did the first one in the series. It was confusing to keep up with the characters and what was taking place in the real world vs. virtual reality. I felt like I was just pushing through it to finish it.
