I’m actually super into this series now. After loving the last book I was eager to get into this one and it did not disappoint. Still exciting still fast paced but now entirely unpredictable. The world is expanding and gaining so much depth. Adam is my favorite character, now that I have a favorite character I feel like I care so much more about what happens. Characters and plot points that we briefly glossed over in previous books are making a come back and becoming significant. I’m so much more interested than I was at the start and I’m loving every moment of it.
Formatting and lack of down time are still an issue for me, but I’ve already talked about that. I really hope this series doesn’t end with the Garde transforming earth into the new Lorien. I’m not optimistic with the turn this took right at the end. Are we just reading about colonization but from opposite point of view than we first thought? I hope not but I guess I’m going to have to read on to find out.
Overall I had a blast reading this book. I finally feel like I care about the character and the slog of the middle few has definitely paid off. 4 stars.
