i loved Chilling Effects and I loved this follow up as I found it highly entertaining and compelling.
It made me laugh and kept hooked,
There's a lot of character development and world building and I loved the humour and the plot.
I'm fascinated by the psychic cats as in the first book.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A more solid novel than the first book - and if you came for the psychic cats, they are much more prominent in this one! There’s also space!pokemon, space!pizza rolls, and, I think, transformers? The despairing delight and giggles were endless. Gotta catch ‘em all! (And by all, I mean there’s got to be another book coming after this, right?)
ETA: yes there will be a third book! Just checked the authors profile and it is mentioned in their bio - it appears to be titled Fault Tolerance, and has just not been added to the series list yet for whatever reason.)

I was super excited about the overall premise of this series, and while I enjoyed the first book, I had been somewhat disappointed by the overly fast pacing and the humor that, at times, felt like it was trying a little too hard. However, because of how much I wanted to love the core concept, I knew I had to give the sequel a shot. I went into this novel with hesitant optimism and was very pleasantly surprised. Valdes seems to have come into her own as a writer in this second novel, providing us with fewer, more fleshed out plot points that allow readers the time they need to fully immerse themselves in the word and connect with the characters. This book changed just about everything that I disliked about the first book while maintaining all the elements that made the idea shine for me in the first place, and I am excitedly looking forward to Book 3. This series will appeal to fans of Firefly and nerd culture in general, and this particular installment will be especially appreciated by Pokemon fans.
