The stuff that I was hung up on in the first book of this series were much less important in this one, and I really enjoyed getting to see Dex and Mosscap’s adventures continue into the human realm. I loved all the new characters we got to meet and the descriptions of each new setting. The best part was that the deep conversations that I loved in the first book continued and became more nuanced and complex. Such a beautiful read!

Re-read, first time listening to the audiobook. I like the narration. This is my favourite book of all time.

I was very nervous the sequel wouldn't live up to the original but Chambers did it again. This should be a required read for everyone. I look forward to going through her backlog.

Although from an objective standpoint this book probably contains more interesting information than the first, I fond myself enjoying it less. I don't know how much of that is just a mindset thing, but this one just didn't draw me in in the same way. I loved getting to see more of the world and I enjoyed some of the ideas that discussed, but t just felt like it was missing something from the first book and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It maybe got a bit repetitive at times, especially in the dialogue. I'm not upset that I read it but I'm a little disappointed that it didn't quite hold up to what I was hoping it would be.
