The Hive

I suppose I should have expected the abrupt ending (obviously to be resolved in book 3) as I neared the end of the book, but still it left me a little disappointed. That was the only downside to an otherwise excellent book. And I'm glad the decision was made to continue things into the third book rather than leave things out in this book to try to get everything in. The world building is wonderful and the characters are worth either (a) rooting for, if they're the “good ones” or (b) booing and hissing if they're not. Lots of twists and turns as well. Nicely done!
