Logos
Let's get to the facts. We all know reading is important, so we're going to read at least a little in our lives. Why not read the best? Over all, the rule of thoughts is rated over 4 and a half stars!
Meeting Sarah
Although the whole book is exciting, my favorite part was when he met Sarah in the real real world. Michael has so much to say, yet didn't know how to say it. shortly after, they heard a crash. The two of them dashed in to see what was wrong. Sarah's parents were not there. droplets if blood were visible, but not enough to confirm their death. Although neither of them admitted it, they knew what was behind this. Kaine. Sarah's parents disappearance gave them a new motive for finding Kaine.
Michael
Michael is a daring, restless, problem solving coder who is prepared for anything... Hopefully. Even the VNS thinks that he has the talent and ability to overcome the insanely powerful code- Kaine.
Kaine
"My name is Kaine and I see all"
Kaine is the villain here. His coding skills and his power are not even human... literally. Kaine is a tanget. a line of code. His ultimate goal is immortality. Kaine wants to suck the lives out of civilians and replace them with a tanget's.
Will he survive?
Ethos
Even the Kirkus review says that this is a great sequel that is just as if not more action pact than the first book, the eye of minds. They agree that this agood book for all people. There isn't too much violence to where people have horrible nightmares, but the rule of thoughts has just the right amount of violence to keep the reader engaged and wanting to turn the page and read more and more.
Current spot
Right now, I'm at the end of the book. After receiving a device that was supposed to be able to destroy Kaine and all of his auras, Michael is on a mission to do that exact thing. He drifts off into the Sleep in the coffin with one thing on his mind; Kaine. He and his friends- Sarah and Bryson, reach the building. The virus bomb is placed and explodes. Isn't he supposed to be lifted into the wage by now? By now, police are swarming the building and capture him. Being dragged to jail, he wishes that he could be lifted. This was getting too real. In jail, he has two visitors who tell him the impossible; he went into the sleep, Kaine knocked him out and lifted him to the wake, and he blew up the building in real life and destroyed the VNS. Although all has gone bad, he still has a spark of hope.
