Good continuation of the story. I really enjoyed the complex, realistic yet sometimes uncomfy relationships between characters. Really developed well.
Spoiler
I did not love the relationships between some members of the crew which knocked it down a few pointsGraphic: Panic attacks/disorders and Racism
Moderate: Grief, Sexual content, Vomit, and Death
Minor: Chronic illness
Sexual content is mildly graphic but does fade to black. Less prevalent than first book. Anxiety is also a factor and racism is a key part of the book.brittshaw_p's review
