I didn't like this one as much as For The Wolf or its sequel. The main character didn't have very much agency, and it took her too long to figure out what was going on, which is no surprise, since the twist, turns and shifting allegiances gave me whiplash.

Manages to make “We're going on an adventure” the most terrifying thing to hear.
Take the spiders from the previous book, add octopuses, a planet full of strange aliens, and a dangerous swarm intelligence.

A book that lured me in with the promise of a noir detective novel, but turns out to be an alternate history and more. Excellent world building, great characters.

I hope there will be more of these!

We found this for my nephew and niece. It's hilarious!
