I read this book in less than a day. I devoured it! Once again, the characters are brilliant (all the same ones from the first novel, with a few interesting additions). The conflict still gripped me - I could, again, see both sides, empathize with both sides, etc. This is a book that definitely made me ruminate and think on the ideas presented, how they apply to humans on earth, right now.

In a way, I found this book rather depressing. Just in terms of what it is saying about humanity and our chances of survival. I'm an optimist/idealist. So, the depressing tone on humanity is hard for me to take.

However, there is room for hope - even in the novel.

5 stars. I can't wait to read the final novel in this trilogy. Not to mention all the other books this author has written.
