Initial Response
WOW. INTENSE MUCH.

High Lights
- SO. MUCH. COOLNESS.
- I looooved the use of the kids electricity in this! They all served a purpose and worked together and it was so cool to see!
- Michael is so sweet and adorable and he just really needs some slack cut for him. Seriously.
- Ostin is a super genious and adorkable and
MCKENNA AND HIM JUST NEED TO BE TOGETHER. PLEASE.

- Ian is awesome basically.
- Abigail is SO. SWEET.
I have mixed feelings regarding her and Jack and Zeus...I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL HELP ME.

- The action was nonstop, and I loved it. :D It felt like a rollercoaster, going up, then down, then way, way up, then plummeting down. It was so fun!
- I just really need to know
who the voice is helping them. Like...what's the deal here? If I don't get answers in book three... >:|

- Raul is a great guy and I hope he sticks around. I feel like he could be really helpful. :)

Low Lights
- I. HATE. HATCH. HAAAAAATE. He's evil and wicked and malicious and insane and I hate him in every way possible. He's like one of those people who I wish was never born.
- His electric children are also horrible. Like, THE HATE IS REAL. >:(
-
I am sooooo glad that the main Starxource plant was destroyed. All those horrendous, flesh-eating rats, gone. Those things were nasty... :P

- There were a few parts I skimmed, mostly just because they were a little gross. I hate rats, btw.

Conclusion
This was an intense sequel, guys. BUT IT WAS AWESOME. Of course, if you liked the first book, you're going to want to read the second one. It's epic. There were a few parts that made me squeamish, so I knocked off half a star for that, but I still really love this book! And now, on to the third! ;)
