A review by narteest
Defy the Worlds by Claudia Gray

4.0

I don't have much to say, except that I enjoyed this one even more than the first. Most importantly, if you liked the first book, then this book is everything the first one is plus more action. It begins a few months/several months after the first book and it doesn't take long for Noemi to get caught in a web of Mansfield's attempts to get Abel back.

I really enjoyed this sequel, loved the human-mech dynamic. Loved the supporting cast. There are a few questionable moments which I hope the third book will resolve. But mostly, I do like Abel's own personal debate over the Inheritors and Simon.

(Simon is somewhat creepy! Props to Claudia Gray for naming him Simon and giving a whole new meaning to 'Simon says'.)
