This book was such an excellent continuation from the first installment! I felt like the was a plot twist on every other page. This book really stands apart from other sci-fi stories, because it allows us to capture a complex and ever-changing view of humanity. At times throughout this story, I had a strong disdain for humanity's weaknesses, and other times I was reminded that our unique strengths make us so powerful when we are united. Overall, I loved the book, and I can't wait to read the final installment in the series.
