Good second book. < spoiler> Surprised how it tied at the end with the previous book < /spoiler> It felt immersive the way Leandro pointed out the details of things along with the world building from the author. Some heavy themes that are shown that parallels our current world which gives us hope to figure things out.
There are wonderful things about this book: the imagination used to create it, the set up, and the characters. And then there are things that felt incomplete: I felt like it struggled to lay or clearly the motivations behind the characters' actions or the rational behind their decisions. In short, it was really well set up but really lacked in the transition from build up to climax. I liked it but it felt short changed in what it could have been.
Side note: the hard cover design is pretty cool.
