Just like the first, it was a little long for my taste. It's also still bio-essentialist and I don't think it's going to address that. There are things (losses) I wished it lingered on more but I understand that during wartime you don't always get time to process your feelings.

"So, who are you then, Todd Hewitt?" he says. "What makes you so special?
Now that, I think, is a very good asking.
Oh, what a turn. Just enough predictability so nothing seemed too far-fetched, but a healthy amount of mystery and twist elements. The second book of the Chaos Walking trilogy takes a very dark road in an already bleak universe. Thankfully, I checked out both books two and three at the same time so as soon as I finish this review, I'll be moving on to the next.
Todd Hewitt, how are you going to fix this?
