I finished Suited last night - an excellent follow-up to Debris, although, for me, not quite as satisfying a read (I am in love with Debris, so it would have been hard to equal it!). I'm struggling to put my finger on it exactly what didn't grip me so fully but I think it might be that I was having trouble visualising the world, which is so richly different from ours. I think the books need to be made into a film to help my poor, simple brain understand what it is reading!

Having read Jo Anderton's debut novel,
Debris
, last week, I was able to jump in to its sequel, Suited, almost immediately. I had my niggles and my problems with Debris, but at the same time thoroughly enjoyed the novel and I was curious to see whether my problems with Debris would hold up during my reading of Suited. Fortunately, many of my problems with Debris were addressed in Suited. Unfortunately, Suited presented with a set of problems of its own.

I wasn’t overly fond of
Debris
, Jo Anderton’s first book in this series, and I approached Suited with trepidation. I wasn’t sure Anderton had what it would take to grab me and make me enjoy this book. And as I started reading, and the characters felt flat and uninspiring, I resigned myself to another dull review. Then it got interesting. The characters began changing. The stakes got higher. And by the end of the book, I was furiously flipping electronic pages as I raced to discover what would h...more
Suited was a surprising read. The first part was as expected a more or less direct continuation from Debris. After the somewhat disastrous events at the end of Debris, life in the city of Movoc-under-Keeper goes on. Mostly. Tanyana returns to debris collecting with her team and the other citizens of the city go about their usual jobs, albeit with a lot more repair work.
However, the world is not going back to how it was. Pion binders trying to repair damage are finding that they can’t, or that th...more

The story started in Debris (review here) continues with Suited, the second book in Jo Anderton's Veiled Worlds trilogy. Tanyana returns to pry the lids off the mysteries surrounding debris , the Keeper, and the Puppet Man who are now doing more than watching and waiting.
This book picks up nicely where the previous one left off, with a fairly seamless transition from one book to the next. I confess to a little bit of confusion regarding some characters ("What, who was that again?") but I suspect...more

Anderton writes a refreshing new Sci-Fi story with Debris and Suited. If you enjoy new worlds and new concepts, then you are sure to enjoy these stories. A world filled not just with dark versus light, but rather particles of the ever larger universe, all connected yet all individual. I reccommend reading this series to any true Sci-Fi and even Fantasy fan. You will be captivated by the characters, the world and its unique science magic. I gave Suited only four stars simply because I feel that a...more
My impression half way was not changed at the end of the story - this book tackled everything but in a typical way, no new or awe inspiring ways of looking at things. It was a little confusing (at the best of times) but further explaination would have dried it out too much. I'm not sure if perhaps the concept was too complex and would better be saved for a future book in the series or if perhaps there was just too much trying to happen between the covers.
I continue to enjoy this series, but felt that this novel didn't move the plot forward as much as I would have hoped (one late scene reminded me of the Architect scene in Matrix 2, but with less clarity). I enjoy the world building and the relationships between the characters. I hope the book does well enough that a 3rd and final book is released.
This is the second in the Veiled Worlds trilogy – the first was Debris. I loved Debris and this was an excellent second installment. The world and mythology was developed in much greater depth and I can’t wait for the third book in the series now to see how it all wraps up.
Without the allure of pions and debris this novel falls flat. I enjoyed the first book so much because I enjoyed learning about the world. There is very little world building in this novel and the plot never grabbed me. I still don't see the personalities of any of the characters, I don't care about their relationships with each other, and I had no reason to continue. Knowing who or what the puppet men were was a little tidbit I was curious about but not enough to trudge through the boring secti...more
I received an ARC of Suited from the Robot Army. It is due out in July so I will post more then. This is a series that keeps getting better.
I loved Debris with its upbeat ending and message of overcoming and adapting. I love Suited, but (can't help it- the original Star Wars trilogy keeps skipping through my brain) it does follow the pattern of much darker second book. And my head is still spinning from plot twists I never expected. I can't wait til book 3 comes out.
Brilliant stuff! Doesn't suffer at all from "book number 2" syndrome. Story complete, and series could stay complete as it stands, or continue.
Love the characters, and the story.

Suited is Book #2 in The Veiled World Trilogy by Jo Anderton. We reviewed Book #1, Debris, which I loved. Check near the bottom for the link to that review. If you’re into scifi, potential distant futures, and/or technology then Books 1 & 2 of this trilogy might make a great summer read for you. Even though Suited contains a brief recap at the beginning, I recommend reading Debris before reading Suited. This is one case in which I believe the stories are too interdependent and complex for Su...more
An intricate, action-packed follow up to the excellent Debris (2011) - highly recommended Australian SF.

Good. Throughly grasped my attention. Cant wait for the third one!
Very much enjoyed coming back to this Universe. The second book in this series has more SF overtones than fantasy, and steampunk elements, but is also actioin-packed, with surprising twists and turns in the plot. I'm already looking forward to reading the next book in this wonderful series - clearly the author is weaving a much bigger tapestry.
Another very good book in this series, leaving me anxious for the next release. Great development of the lead character and the world. This answered many of the questions I had from Debris, but also created new questions to think about...I really dig that.
Review pending for the Australian Women Writer's Challenge 2013 - short version, I liked it and it was a great follow up to the first book.
