I did not like this book anywhere near as much as book one. However it was a good buck. I didn't necessarily "enjoy" it, it continues to push and prod you to make you consider your humanity and your role in society.
I did get annoyed at the gender essentiallism and the fact that everyone wanted kids. That was the big conflict. As someone who does not necessarily want kids, it was frustrating that this was all anybody wanted.
I also disliked that we left Lillith to follow her son Akin. I just don't like having to get used to a new MC hah.
I'll finish out the trilogy for sure, but probably not until next month.
