Update Read On 2/24/20 - Upon re-reading it I enjoyed it more and bumping it up to a 4. I really felt for Tim this time and appreciated the world more.

Descender is a series I've owned for awhile but never read. Not sure why. I'm not big into space stuff.

This was good though!

So Tim 21 is a robot. You get little bits and pieces of his past, how he was made, what he was made for, while the other portion of this book is about other people hunting him down. In this very quickly paced volume you get just enough of the supporting cast of this world but it's main focus is Tim and his survival (is it survival when you're a robot?) and how he can make it through and who really is on his side or cares about him.

Good: LOVE the art. It's very atmospheric and gloomy yet still shines like a dream like feel to it all. I also like Driller the killer. Dude (Robot-dude) will fuck your shit up. The best parts of the story for me is Tim 21's past and learning about what he was made for and who he lived with. Loved all that. The ending also sets up some good sequel shit.

Bad: I didn't love the very very heavy exposition. I get it, it's a big world, and they have to set it up. Still, could be overbearing at times. I also thought the other supporting cast wasn't as interesting as Tim's main story.

Overall a good solid first volume. Not over the moon about it but I think this series might grow on me. Buying volume 2-4!
