Ruins by Orson Scott Card - bookcover

In Pathhfinder we watched Rigg get control of the walls and the ships that brought settlers to Garden but just because he has control of the ships and the robots, doesn’t mean he’s out of danger. Now Rigg and his friends have to navigate the Expendables (robots) who tell the truth, but not always all of it as they each pursue their own agendas.

While I enjoyed this book, some immutable facts from the first book are casually changed and waved off, like the supposed death of Riggs biological father. The lack of continuity in parts does draw the reader out of the story and detracts from overall enjoyment. I’ve read this a few times and these continuity points always stick out to me.
