This was one of the most interesting books I've read in a while - such cool concepts underneath an awesome story and I was so glad to see there's a second book.

Wow. I’m going to need anywhere from 7-240 business days to wrap my mind around this one. There is simply nothing else like this… I am so envious of Seanan McGuire’s mind and the way that it works. How do you even come up with this?! 

This is weird level 1000 so if you don’t care for nonsense and pseudoscience then just steer clear. If you’re down for melting your brain, this is the one.

shinedown's review

While I had been enjoying the book, some of the content is too much for me to handle.
