mientras lo leía pensaba: "puf creo que a este libro le falta algo q el primero sí tenía igual no le pongo las cinco estrellas". LO QUE LE FALTABA ERA EL FINAL, QUE ME QUEDABA LEERLO MADRE MÍA DE MI ALMA!!!!!!! Cuando me serene haré un resumen más detallado como con el libro anterior, pero por ahora diré que aunque siento que este flaquea en algunos aspectos, como los personajes secundarios o el equilibrio entre magia y ciencia, me ha encantado de todos modos y quedándome con todo lo que me ha hecho sentir y lo bien escrito que está, que es una delicia de leer la prosa, le voy a dar cinco estrellas.

I just spent like 20 mins writing a review, then my Mac had a pink screen of death and the review didn't save, and now I'm extra annoyed at 1:04 AM!!!!

I cannot do this again right now. long story short, this book should've been called Finding Libby.
I hope she dies.
Losing respect for Blake one book at a time. She peeked with Alone With You in the Ether.

DNF at 74% nothing is happening and I really don’t care anymore 

Re-read January 2024: Perfection.

January 2023: The rare situation where the second book is even better than the first; I am in love with these characters.

As usual, the second book in a trilogy doesn't *quite* do the same thing for me as the first book that introduces and builds the world and characters. 

That's somewhat to be expected honestly, and this novel/series is no different from my perspective. The novel moved a bit more slowly, we got to know some of the characters who were a bit more peripheral in the first novel more intimately, and in all, Blake builds towards the eventual final arc in the third novel of this trilogy.

I'm so bored

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great follow up to The Atlas Six and it left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next book!
