My quickest read of the year! I can understand why some reviews say this is the weakest/worst book of the series - it is definitely different to the others, and any reader who goes into this one expecting it to be like the others may find themselves somewhat disappointed. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did either, yet I came out of it feeling like the story, the characters and their journey resonated with me much more than the other books did; it really made me feel.

While the first two books are filled with more exciting action and mystery, I see Cytonic more as a story of self-discovery and greater character development than all the other books (but still filled with lots of action, adventure and friendships).
