DNF.
Read the first 100 pages, got so bored, read the last 50 pages and knew everything that had happened in-between.
Don't waste your time.

It seems I spoke far too soon with Eve of Man :/ Aside from the absolute lack of plot, this second instalment also took a steep plummet downhill in terms of dialogue and narrative. I guess I'll have to finish the trilogy now but I really don't blame the publishers for delaying release date inevitably.

A couple years after reading the first book, I was worried it had been too long for me to remember what had happened but it brought the reader back into the universe very easily.
I thought the story was a good continuation of tension and I enjoyed the addition of a new perspective to read from. I thought a few of the plot twists were fairly predictable with some being classic tropes but all the dystopian/futuristic elements were very cool.
I look forward to reading the final instalment next year and hopefully it will bring everything together nicely.

I really didn't think this book was as good as the first one. I just thought the whole plot was wasted and that the characters and the book could have been so much better. However, I liked the introduction of a new characters point of view, it made the story more interesting and made it less limited to only Bram and Eve. There are two major things that happen at the end, i thought one of them was just plain obvious and the other was thoroughly confusing and weird. I have no idea how the story will continue or what will happen in the next book. I liked the overall sinister plot and the plot twists it had but I just didn't think this book was as good as it could have been.
