I FINALLY FINISHED THIS ONE. It took forever (about a week) due to children, work, chores, and being flat out exhausted. BUT IT'S DONE, AND WHAT A BOOK IT WAS.
We saw Carl, Donut, Katia, and even Samantha grow so much. We're introduced to former crawlers, we see some horrifying things happen, along with some really nice things, too. Donut grows up quite a bit, and you all know how I feel about her. I want to give her a big hug and cuddle. Poor girl needs some snuggle time, I think. Carl needs a year-long vacation, an open bar, and a full body massage.
Anyways, I enjoyed this one so much – probably about as much as I enjoyed the first one. There's a lot going on in this (rather long) book, but it's all worth it for how this wraps up. This is the Faction Wars, people, and we meet so many cool people. SO MUCH HAPPENS. I know I said that already, but oh my god I MEAN IT. So much. So much happens. I literally cannot wait to find out what's gonna go on next. WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE COMING OUT, I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!
Side note – anyone know how many of these Dinniman is going to write??
Been looking forward to this one for a while so high expectations going in. It bogged down a bit in the middle due to the sheer number of factions, characters, and interest groups. After a bit of “thinning out”, it started to feel more like the other books, which was nice. Loved the action and plotting, especially around the core characters/plot, just couldn't keep all the faction stuff straight in my head at all.
PS Jamal - new favorite character
This series is truly a standout of the entire genre. Every book peels back the curtain just a little bit more and gives further insight into this insane world the author has created. The sheer amount going on raises questions of just how it’ll all eventually be tied up, but for now I’m just enjoying the ride.
