I insisted on the error and I was not surprised

When I finished Daemon it just felt like it had not finished. Not like "this left a cliffhanger" but more like "this was incomplete", so I went and read Freedom too.
Not surprisingly, Freedom continues to be as underwhelming as Daemon is.
I had to suffer for a whole chapter of the author calling Native Americans "Indians" while wondering what happened to the book's editor.
I feel like this book goes even more gory than the one before, more often resorting to just going into gory detail instead of anything else.
One of the main Daemon operatives of the previous book is not even mentioned anymore, did he get a silent death? I can't tell.
In this whole "new society shaping itself up" the characters are still pretty much following the same gender roles and not much changes, which I really find appalling. Just a lack of imagination.
But hey, at least this one has an ending.
