4.5

Much darker but also more compelling and interesting than the first, this book takes a big departure in tone from the first. It is extremely page turning, once again never allowing the reader to really breath. You learn much more about the main character's trauma and struggles in agonizing detail. Toxic relationship dynamics take front and center stage in this one, and dark themes of self harm, suicidal ideation, and human nature are put under a microscope. We learn much more about the aliens introduced and mentioned in the first, but the more we learn, the more questions the reader has. Very imaginative and entertaining, I could not put it down.
