About book Metro 2034 (2009)

While Metro 2033 was fresh, intresting, and well balanced between story narration and dealing with philosophical issues, in the sequel we have tons of internal monologues, rather boring and unoriginal story that was not relevant to the universe (nothing strictly connected to the Metro universe) and the finale that left me with indifferent. I was very disappointed. I hope that other stories set in this universe, by other authors, will be more satisfying. This book has such a great setting, but the author does not seem to know what to do with it. The scope of the Metro universe is so vast, but the author seems to be afraid of any radical change to it. Despite all the discoveries and dramatic events, the state of the metro universe at the end of the second book is almost identical the beginning of the first book.Instead, we get treated to more inexplicable "magic". More rebasing of how awful life in the Metro is. More big conflicts that miraculously brings us back to the status quo ante. Yawn.
