The multi POV hurt this novel I think. It picks up at the end but takes a bit to get there. Overall, less interesting than the first but still compelling.
I hated the aliens and that this was a first contact story.

A first contact story. It was as exciting as the first one.

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first, mostly because we don't (to my taste) spend enough time with Mahit - we get several other POVs now, which worked for me sometimes but too often were not quite as interesting as her's - and the pace was slower. Still great though!
