The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“The first book was great and even though it left a new, wide-open pallet to work with I had no idea where it would go. I tend to read in the moment, not trying to predict or think about what will happen. I worked up…”
“Soap Opera with sci-fi elements. Totally boring till about 80% of the book. No comparison to the first book.”
