This book was okay; I like the idea that traction cities have evolved differently depending on where their hunting ground is. The characters were better than in the previous book, however I found everything a little too predictable. Also, every character is kind of just mean. There's no one to really get behind because they all have almost-driving personalities and then they say something like 'oh, I forgot how ugly she is.' It rubbed me up the wrong way a little bit. Still, I think I'll continue for more traction cities and Stalker action.
