The parts about the rebellion and the students’ new Outside powers were interesting but not really focused on enough (though I did really like the last couple of chapters). I loved the way the gone people are portrayed in this one - they sort of felt like ~spooky mad people~ in the first book and here their ways of thinking and interacting with the world are explained a bit more. I liked Yasira dealing with her new mindset but sadly I still found Tiv kind of dull - she felt very reactive and kind of just orbited around Yasira.
I would only recommend this if you really liked the first one or if you're really into Elu for some reason.
