Still a recommended read if you were hooked by the first volume and invested in Tim-21's plight, just a heads up that the pacing and focus might not be what you're expecting after the cliffhanger in the previous book. We're introduced to a new character right off the bat, and while I'm interested to see his story intersect with Tim-21's, I'm not as attached to this character as I am to Tim. It's clear that he's a very different person since the last time the two interacted, and while the book teased a bunch of stuff, we didn't get as much concrete information about what/how the character developed over time like we did with Tim in the last volume. The titular Machine Moon is really cool conceptually, but because of the watercolor medium and the location's color scheme the backgrounds at times have little to no detail. There's a locale that's essentially a memorial to all the robots who've died and I wish we got a better look at this place. I was a bit disappointed by the Hardwire as well. The twist was very predictable. That's kinda Machine Moon as a whole. Well executed, but predictable.
