I enjoyed the climax and ending. Perhaps the most accurate description of the reality in which Russians live and how they are manipulated and controlled by former Soviet nomenclature figures in fiction
Yeah, it took me forever to read this book. I listened to this as an audio book, which is why it took me so long.
I'm glad that this one is better than Metro 2034, but sadly not by a huge margin. This book is filled with monologues by Artyom, seriously stupid decisions and unnecessary and predictable plot points. It's sad to see that the author seems to have reached his peak with the first book.

The whole idea of this series was good, but it's often executed badly. Wouldn't recommend the whole series, maybe just the first book.
