Just as good as the first, if not just a touch better. Without as much need for scene-setting, we jump into the action a bit faster which is nicer. Somehow the stakes continue to be raised, and I'm curious to see what happens next!

Great book! I found it a touch hard to follow at first, but quickly got the hang of it as time went on. Following Lindon's journey as been great and it's refreshing having a character who doesn't have a convenient and super strong power that saves the day every day. Everything feels earned by the main character here and I like how the author set up things for the next book. Excited to read the next one!

I really wish I liked this one more. I really do. It has all the things on paper. A cozy element. An interesting sci-fi plot. Food!
But for some reason it just fell flat for me. I didn't feel like I could connect with the characters and it felt like there were too many California-specific references that I felt kind of left out while reading it.
It still was interesting to read and it was a quick read, but I doubt it's something I'd read again.

I almost stopped reading this around page 50-60 just since I felt like the author got a little too in the weeds with scene setting and not enough with moving the story along. I also felt like the relationship between characters was a bit varied. Some friendships felt a little forced for the story, and others felt a bit more natural. The action in the book was tight though and that kept me on the edge of my seat once it finally started.
The author also does a great job of raising the stakes every chapter and I'm grateful I pushed through the first part of the book.
Overall it's worth your time, but you might find the first couple chapters a little hard to get through.

Pretty fun manga. Feel like the pacing is just a touch slower than I'd like, but otherwise a fun one with an interesting concept. Curious to see where it goes from the first volume.

No one in this book is particularly likeable, but they all have such clear motivations for why they do what they do that it doesn't matter.
I loved every minute of this book and couldn't wait to read what happened next. It was like watching a train crash in slow motion and I couldn't look away.
