WHAT IS THERE TO SAY....... i think this book is best read in two or three sittings bc once you start you won't want to stop but you probably should for a bit. ALSO if you didn't like control in the first book you probably will in this book.

if you were turned into a monstrosity beyond recognition by area x what would it turn you into :)
