More

I enjoyed the first book in this series, ("Codesurfers"), although it was exhausting in places. This time around we are even more turbocharged. For me, the novelty has worn off, and the manic hyper compu-punk feels forced. I think this would be a great choice for readers who really took to the characters who were introduced in the first book. But if you're not jonesing to return to their company, then this book is just more.

Once again Pi and her new friends find themselves on a quest, filled with adventure and excitement. In this astrology techno world, they are like supercomputers who travel from one dimension to another solving the puzzle laid before them. An unusual and interesting story.

Madeleine Engle said: "You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
Pi Lightfoot might be the case. It takes you on a whirlwind adventure in a world of alien supercomputers. There are perils to avoid, friends to save and mysteries to solve. Now that I have read the second instalment, I have grown to love the characters: fearless Pi, loyal Gaia, word-mixing klutzy Leo, kind and fatherly HB, and my favourite super smart and super cool Andomime. The Inverse is full of fantastic objects such as pinwheels (would make my morning routine so much easier) and spherooms (yes, ceilings are a total waste of space) as well as powerful and mysterious elements.
Some parts of the book were more abstract and difficult to follow (I am a grown-up, after all). Others were written in such a wonderfully tangible way that I almost felt the cold drops and acrid tang of the Leviathan wave.
Looking forward to reading the third part of Pi's adventures.
