Ian Sudderth reviewed The Consuming Fire by John Scalzi (The Interdependency, #2)
Just a ton of fun
4 stars
Great plot, great world, amazing characters, so fun and funny

The second book of the series and very enjoyable, like all Scalziās books. We learn lots of secrets about how The Interdependency was created and the Memory Room. There are cool AIs, conspirators, palace intrigues, plot twists, and people getting arrested. It ends in a cliffhanger so I had to jump to the third book right away.

The way everything wraps up so neatly, while extremely satisfying, also puts a big dent in suspension of disbelief
