Children of Daedala by Caighlan Smith
3.0
I was really excited for this book because I loved the first one so much, and I'm glad this wasn't disappointing! It took me a while to get used to the writing style again (which actually helps with the characterization of the MC, as simple as it is), so at first I didn't like it, but the more I read, the more I found myself caught up in the story.
The MC is an interesting character, and I really loved learning more about her, and her relationship with other people. I also loved the plot twists and reveals and the conflicts. Generally, the book was evenly paced, and nothing felt too rushed or like it dragged on.
The one thing I would've changed is the MC's relationship with Elle (or Risa even). Look, she talks about dating boys and kissing boys like it's a chore, and doesn't really feel anything towards a certain boy when he kisses her, so the conclusion I came to was that she's gay. At first I thought gay for Elle, because of the way she talked about her, but I would've been fine with the MC in a relationship with any other girl. Hopefully that gets addressed in the next book!
But otherwise, I enjoyed reading this book, and I hope the sequel gets released soon!
