I should have stopped at #1 and I would have been much happier.

Often sequels tends to disappoint after a well done start in the first book but this sequel did definitely not disappoint. As intruiging as the first one. Would definitely read more from this author

The first book of this series was great. It had a great story line, characters, and world development. I felt like I was right there with the characters saving the world from an evil corporation and everything ended nicely. This book ended up being a let down in comparison to the first book. I felt like there was no more story to tell, and the author was just trying to get another book out of the world she had already created. There wasn’t really anything is this book that greatly added to the story line.

I went into this book nervous. I was very nervous. While the first book was good, listening to a book about a flu pandemic during a flu pandemic was rough. All of it felt too real and like it was too much. I wasn't even sure I wanted to listen to the 2nd book. However, I decided to listen to it since I had other books on hold.
I still love all the characters, so it wasn't like I didn't want to listen to it, but I didn't know how I'd be able to. I did, and I enjoyed the book. The characters were even better than they were in the first book. Plus, the lack of the flu pandemic, made it much easier to listen to.
Some of the relationship drama was a lot. I am not a fan of drama made by lack of communication, but it wasn't a massive part of the story, I was able to get through it and focus on the main plotline. I enjoyed this book, but since the first book was on the difficult side, I don't know if I can recommend it to people. I hope there comes a time soon when I can when this pandemic isn't so overwhelming, but right now, I know my friends would struggle with this book like I did.

Not as exciting as the first book in the duology for me, but still a fun quick YA read. Just kind of a redux, but in Shanghai this time.
