I enjoyed this one less than the first one. The cat planet turned out to not be all that great and some of the cat machinations were actually pretty horrifying. But the ending was pretty wild and delightful!

Anne McCaffrey has always been one of my favorite authors, so it's disappointing to find one of her books (or at least collaborations) that I just couldn't get into. Everything and every character seemed really flat, the relationships that showed promise in Catalyst went nowhere, and I considered not even finishing the book.

Sadly, even though this book has the best plot summary ever, I am not capable of finishing it. Apparently I do have limits.

Somewhat disappointing, given the quality of the authors collaborating on it. The story felt disjointed, seeming skip important bits in transition between narrators, and rushed at the end.

It was nice to return to the universe of Damia and the Rowan, even if these events happened a long time before them. However, I found that the books were just ok. I wasn't invested in the characters, they didn't draw me in. And the back story of Mau just wasn't interesting enough to capture my imagination. An ok read, but not to the level of the Tower and the Hive books.

Wasnt quite as heart wrenching as the first one, and probably for the better so I dont die crying over fictional cats. Still a very good book and a good sequel!

I could maybe go as high as 2.5 stars, but I just didn't feel the connection to this one that I did to the first in the series. This one felt like it was scattered, although maybe I just waited to long after reading the first one to read this.
