The first one was better submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 11, 2023, 8:41pm Meh. Definitely not as appealing as the first book for me. I think there were a few factors for this including that many of the different first-person voices weren’t that distinct from each other (they varied in content, but not in *voice*) and that the storyline as a whole was much more confusing. But in the end I think that the piece that worked the least for me was that since each chapter was told in first-person narration yet many were told by non-humans, there was a very odd mix of too much description to be believable (who would really tell a story like that?) and not enough description to keep everything straight (I sometimes couldn’t understand what was actually going on). This was especially true of the climax battle, but I don’t want to give any spoilers for it, so I’ll just say it was a lot of words and I still didn’t understand. If there’s a third book, I don’t know that I’ll bother reading it. I loved the first one, though.
