"Amazing world building and dialogue! This is definitely worth the read, though it is hard to get through at times due to the constant change in point of view. If that doesn’t put you off at all, the characters make it worth reading regardless of anything else. They come in such fluid and interesting forms, each with their own beautiful perspectives on the events taking place. TW: sexual assault and graphic violence."

"This sequel took all of the first books humor, joy of discovery, and wonder and threw it right out the dang window. This one's filled with misery and despair... Honestly it was a little though to get through. I had I put it down several times to lighten my mood. Hoping the third book with breathe life and hope (ha ha) back into the series."
