The plot structure is absolutely brilliant. In the least spoiler way possible, this book makes you wait a decent amount of way in to resolve something painfully unresolved from its predecessor. This was a brilliant decision made by Hank. It made the necessary exposition and character development fly by just as quickly as the action-packed chapters, and made all the intermittent parts afterward go much faster.
I highlighted so much in this book. There is so many sentences casually meta and on point that would cause me to stop and think about our society.
The book does a great job of broadening the scope from the first novel, but that being said, it is very different. I wonder if some readers won't enjoy it as much, simply because of the much widened world (and not just because of the addition of multiple perspectives). I can see how this book would not meet expectations, but while I would agree that it did surprise me, I'd say it did so in an overwhelmingly positive way.
This is one of those series that I wish I could re-read for the first time, so if this is on your TBR, pick it up and do it for me!
