Still more questions than answers...
This book was more confusing than the first. I feel like just when I start to figure something out, something weird happens and there’s so much more to unravel. Usually, that makes for an engaging story, but it’s almost TOO much in this series. I’ll finish it and continue with the final book, but if it’s on the same vein as the first two, I don’t have high hopes.

Not as strong or compelling as the first. Definitely a lot to like here, but also a lot of unnecessary verbiage. Authority wasn't even that lengthy, but it was still too long. Excited for Acceptance, though.

This series is all-consuming, emotional, environmental science fiction and I am here for it. I have the third book sitting next to me now and can’t wait to jump in.
