Excellent book, and I'm tempted to say mandatory reading for anyone not familiar with the subject. I was, having been in IT for more years then I care to recall, but it was still an interresting book, if nothing else because it gave flesh and example to things I've always thought without being sure. 2 things to keep in mind: The book is written from a UK/US point of view, so many of the things said are not valid in the EU. The author recognizes that, but obviously didn't fully grasp the amount of differences. The book was written in 2018. That's almost 7 years ago, and in computerland, it's like a century. Many things have changed, and it is funny to see some of the declarations and predictions made then... But all in all very recommended.

nice little story, but not necessarily great litterature :-)

Un peu brouillon à mon goût comme fin, qui n'en est peut-être pas une ???

L'intrigue se développe et part lentement vers sa conclusion. Toujours aussi imaginatif...en avant vers le tome 4 !

Toujours aussi interessant et plein de rebondissements. Comme prevu, le livre ne se termine pas vraiment, et donc on continue avec le tome 3 :-)

Un livre très intéressant, découvert via une recherche sur “steampunk”. Pas très steampunk en ce qui me concerne, mais bien ficelé et plein de rebondissements, Lecture simple, mais agréable. Attention: le livre se termine sur une porte ouverte, donc il vaut mieux avoir les suivants (et je soupçonne fort, la série complète des quatre) avant de se mettre à lire.

Very nice. Seems to go back to previous style of writing, which I definitely prefer.

Interesting book, with definitely an ending that leaves you wanting for more... :-)

mmm. Jury's still out on this one :-) Not bad

Interresting starts but doesn't go where it could have. Jury's still out...

A bit weird and sometimes hard to follow, but Ok :-) onwards to the next !

Very nice 🙂👍

I didn't like the style of writing of this book. I can't really explain why, maybe too broken, too many cuts to other scenes, whatever...

Not bad, but not as good as the previous ones...

Last in the series after the downed world and the burned world, the crystal world gives us another go at an apocalypse drawing nearer when we followed some personnage tortured by their past. Again quite a good book, but to me the best of the three remains the drowned world (but I admit it's totally subjective).
