I am blown away but what it took for this author to write the complexity of this story and think out every little detail possible. I loved the side by side storylines where it felt like we saw one group continue to evolve while the other appeared to be devolving. The ending was absolutely not what I thought was going to happen and I’m intrigued to find out what direction will come next. I think the character development was great and the use of names in the spider society was really interest to follow as the generations developed.
