Shorefall

Fun read. I liked this better than the first book but I'm not happy with where the characters ended up at the end.
Like how Orso died? Is he even dead? If he is dead then that's a disservice to the character. The kooky scientist was one of my favorite things from the first book but he doesn't get a lot of lines here. Spends most of the book too injured to do much and then he jumps off the boat super quick to sacrifice himself. For a city that is going to shit anyway?
Then there's Gregor. Why did he think melding his mind with an AI was going to do any good? Plus, doesn't that go away once he poops out the scrivings?
Then there's the whole sharing your mind with your significant other.
No one would be that quick to agree to that regardless of circumstances. They have no thoughts they wouldn't want the other to hear? No memories they would like to keep to themselves. What love is so innocent?
