The Atlas Paradox

I really enjoyed The Atlas Six, the first book in the series. This sequel was such a bore. I felt the author was rambling throughout about nothing. She sounded like a science textbook, which just made it seem that she was trying to sound intelligent. It just made it a boring read. The characters were so one-dimensional and pretentious! They were just being annoyingly philosophical, which did nothing for the non-existing plot. The only upside is Libby's POV, which carried the book. I believe Olivie Blake didn't know what to do with these characters after the first book. I stopped caring halfway through this one.
