Same problem as the first quarter of the book, unnecessary even broader gratuitous 2020’s sexual connotations meant for way in the future timeline of the book. Not like call backs to tv, movies, or gaming. This doesn’t compel the storyline. Came close to a DNF. The story itself is a great addition to the first novel. This other crap vibes unnecessary to the plot or word count for publication. SMH

Enjoying this second installment. Referencing shows and games I remember growing up with never gets old. Certain Gen Y, Z, and A will miss if you haven’t become familiar with shows like Belvedere, etc. Though using 2023-4 sexual political references as though they’re in the future reality the story is based in feels gratuitous. Disingenuous. Unnecessary to the story. Four star so far
