Woken Furies - Richard Morgan

Gollancz, 2005, 563 pages
ISBN: 0-575-07652-6 
Read: May 2021, age 43

Takeshi Kovacs, book 3

Better than book 2, not as good as book 3.  Just OK.  I can start to see where the second season of the Netflix series came from now, but that season was pretty poor.  In this book, the story was fine, but it didn't pull you through, and the characters were... there... but I didn't care much about them.
 
I'm starting to think that Morgan may have been a one-shot wonder - one really excellent book (Altered Carbon), and then the rest that I've read (this one, Broken Angels, and Market Forces) have been mediocre-to-poor.  I will probably eventually read his fantasy series, though - he built up a lot of credit with me
with Altered Carbon.  We'll see.

Rating: 3
