This book was shorter and fast-paced compared to the first one. The author showed how the all-knowing eye needed to gather information on the person, and that there were more agents in the field. It also showed that after two years, maybe Nameless is getting back some of his memories. I love this short series.

This is a little better, but is extremely tropey. It’s somewhat interesting that the main character works to interrupt tropes… if that is on purpose. But the byproduct of that is that the killer is just a caricature. It deflates tension because you know nameless will intervene. And though we are told he can only “sometimes” stop these bad things, just this premise alone means that traditional structure doesn’t work that well. The only question I have as a reader was: Will Nameless succeed? And that question enters near the end of the story, at the climax. Feels like everything is rather perfunctory.
