Half-Made World is a very interesting book altogether! After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that I am perfectly happy living in our world vs. that one.
The idea of getting controlled by Engines or Guns is just freaky. Marmion is clearly pissed off with Creedmoor at the end of the book. It makes me wonder how often servants of the Gun actually get away from them. So far I'm saying never. I would hate to have to be in servitude to them, or the Engines.
Creedmoor was the best character in my opinion. Out of all of them he seemed to be the most human, struggling with his past ideologies, reuniting with them when Marmion couldn't connect with him. But at the same time, he was upfront and very aware that he would probably die in servitude to the gun.
I haven't figured out what I think of Liv yet. If there's a sequel, which I"m hoping there is, I hope to see more character growth in her area. She kept taking her tonic and she seemed little better than an opium addict, then they ended up in the mountains where she ran out. She was forced to reconnect completely with reality and face the harshness of their world.
One place I really don't ever want to visit is New Deal. What a backwards way of life there! Freaked me out. They were so restrictive toward Liv and everything there that I wanted to run screaming from the place and it's a fictional town, lol!!
All in all, I really enjoyed The Half Made World and if there is a sequel, I will probably pick it up to see if any of my questions will be answered!
