I'm really getting in to this world. I understand this might be a slow burner for some. It's a lot of world building, and that continues here. I love Forever, and yes she's somewhat emotionless but not completely and that makes her interesting. I've always had a soft spot for Terminator like characters with emotion and motives yet still robotic.

This volume basically goes back and forth with forever as a kid and now. I really loved the past, and it helps us care a lot more about the character. I also loved the part in this book when they meet the other family and a certain something happens that really gets wrapped up in a smart way instead of just bloody shoot out. Very neat.

On flipside we get a band of people who are trying to get to the lift. They aren't all that interesting, and even when something major happens, I wasn't engaged. It wasn't until the very end I actually cared about them and eager to see where they go from here.

I hope Lazarus continues to impress, because I'm really enjoying the overall feel of this series.
