I liked the first book better by a small margin, but man, the ending to this one was a mindf*ck. Very excited for book 3!

• Took a while for me to get into it, but then I didn't want to put it down again. Just like the first part!
• Avasarala is kind of incredible, her constant cursing is just hilarious
• Character development: top notch imo
• I love the changing of the protomolecule, it keeps getting more interesting and more high stakes
• The end??? Um I need to continue immediately
• Proper fucking diverse characters
