I wish I could like this more, it was just really difficult to follow. I am glad that they had a review of the last book as that was hard to follow too.

Although this was definitely the second book in a trilogy, I'm very interested in what it set up. I'm ready for the big climactic end to the series. My only complaint would be to give the Predators more personalization, but again I imagine that's what the last book is about

A good solid instalment. This time it is concentrating a lot more in the Aliens - but it is still very much a human led story. The rage are invading and have unleashed their weapon - weaponised xenomorphs.
All the main players from the last book are back and their stories continued.
Nothing ground breaking, but enjoyable.

Typical middle-volume holding-pattern problems in that this entire book is a gigantic set-up for a doozy of a finale. We hope. It doesn't add much to what we already know, but simply moves the various pieces around the Human Sphere chessboard. Still, probably a textbook-perfect example of a well-developed, plotted, and characterised trilogy. Blistering pace, jaw-dropping revelations (pun intended), nuanced characters, taut and often lyrical writing, fantastic attention to detail and the smaller moments. Oh, and acid-, blood-, vomit- and semen-drenched. For what is a good old horror without romance? The Expanse, please take note.
