Alex Cabe reviewed Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton
Fun but Inessential
3 stars
Antimatter Blues was fun and delivered the same kind of enjoyment as Mickey 7, but was entirely inessential. This book isn't important to understanding the characters or the world, and the author told the complete story of his big idea in the first book. This is not a continuation that demanded to be written, but a sequel that asks "Well, the first one was successful, what other stories can we tell in this world?"
This felt kind of like Haldeman's "Forever Free", except not horrible.
Also, it still didn't explore anything interesting about Cat.
