I felt like this one suffered from middle book syndrome. The first one took awhile to get into, but once it hit its stride, it was great. This one waxed and waned between being interesting and then abruptly switching back to 'put me to sleep' boring. It had a few very interesting nuggets that kept me plugged in, but for the most part, I was trudging through.
I'm invested in where the overall idea of the story is going, and I like some of the character development we saw in this installment. I also enjoyed getting to see much more of Gideon and having him play such an instrumental role! The way his storyline intersected with the society was interesting, and Libby's journey throughout was extremely entertaining. I was disappointed because there were some relationships I enjoyed that were built up in the first book, and in this one they were all, basically, torn apart or swapped. It was just too much for me at times.
I still want to read the third one when it comes out because I really want to see where it goes, but this one took a lot of time and attention.

Will try again later. It was super boring, and like listening to people just ramble with no real focus.

loved the indepth characters; their personalities, quirks and self-absorded views are incredibly well crafted and described.
Zu aller erst: Charakter fokussierte Bücher: I LOVE IT!
Und dann:
Bin ich froh das ich The Big Bang Theory so oft geguckt habe, dass mir die wissenschaftlichen Begriffe (Quantenmechanik, dunkle Materie, Paradoxon, usw.) bekannt waren.
Meiner Meinung nach, benötigt man kein solides Wissen darüber, denn man kann auch ohne einfach gut die Geschichte weiterlesen. Vielleicht war es sogar besser, dass ich die Begriffe kannte und kein fundiertes Wissen hatte, vielleicht wären mir dann Logikfehler klar geworden. Wer weiß das schon...
Das ganze drum herum hat es, wie die Begriffe oben schon zeigen, etwas komplex gemacht. Aber damit hatte ich nach dem ersten Teil schon gerechnet. Ich war eigentlich nur hier für die Charaktere und die Beziehungen zwischen denen und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt haben. Genau das habe ich bekommen und deshalb habe ich das Buch so gerne gelesen.

Mindbending.
If you managed to get through the philosophy, science, and infuriating (affectionate) characters of book 1, then book 2 is an easier read - although there is more science, philosophy, and faults of a human nature, the developments the 6 go through after initiation kept my interest. Expect: time travel, murder, god complexes, Callum is his own warning, alcoholism, terrible communication between characters, and a man-child who really should not have messed with Libby Rhodes.
Interested to see how it all concludes!
