4.5 out of 5 stars
What a fantastic and gripping continuation of the series! I could hardly put down this book for more than a few hours and practically tore my way through it.
If possible, I liked the second book even more than I did he first, mostly because it took all the elements that I loved in QotT and went more in-depth with them.
I love both Kelsea and Lily as characters and was desperate to find out more about their linked lives. I also found the idea of the connection between the two to in a way explain more about the pre-Crossing world and the developments that led to the abandonment of it really new and intriguing.

This book was a great sequel. I still find the mix between science fiction and fantasy really interesting. In the first book, everything was still a little vague, but in this one, we got so many satisfying answers. Also, I liked that there was almost no romance in it - even though I said I would have liked more of it back in the time when I read the first book. I also liked Kelsea as a main character, but I wasn't always fully able to relate to her. Sometimes, this book just missed that little extra spark for me - maybe because I did so long about it. Anyway, I'm curious for the conclusion!

This story drags me around. I am too invested in Lily. Little by little the world builds up.

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first (which is saying a lot, because the first book was a 4 star pick for me)! The cliffhanger ending has me excited for the next book in the series. Ericka Johansen has done some of the best world-building and character-building that I've read in a while. This is one of the best, if not THE best, book that I've read so far this year. Can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings!

I am really enjoying this series. This second book delved a bit more into the SciFi realm but still held its own as a fantasy novel. I downloaded part three just minutes after completing this one!

I'm not really into these books...but I apparently *am* into wanting to find out how the story ends. Which means one more to go.

the second book in most series usually suck, but this one was just as compelling as the first.
