This book was neither great nor was it poor. There are parts that are really good, cleaver, and interested. On the other hand, there are parts that dragged and it didn't seem to truly finish although there was resolution. At this point, there is no reason for any other author to move over. Also, my experience may have been different from some of the other reviewers since I read the sequel directly following Nylon Angel. I recommend that other readers do so as well. The story ties together much more readily. The extra star is for reading it with the second book.
