It was different from, but not an ounce less enjoyable, than the first. I loved exploring the next stage of Annie's life all while dealing with so many new ideas.

This was still a super fun book. I can't decide if it was as good as the first, but I love the writing style and plotline.

It took a while to get comfortable with this story. For the first half, there was growing pressure from the faceless bad-guys that undermined the personalities of millions of people - setting them against Annie. Given that there seemed no glimmer of a path out of darkness, a gnawing sense of hopelessness seeped into the narrative. Thankfully, as Annie's team started to learn more, the reader was gifted with a little foreshadowing of hope. It helped that Annie herself was almost always up-beat.
The final solution was a let-down. It just didn't ring true that the enemy would be so trusting, nor that they were that vulnerable. It wasn't terrible, just weak.

So, I have to agree that this book is maybe half a star away from being as good as the first one, but just being able to dive into a world where I see the characters as friends was amazing. Annie Collins is back and all she wants to be is a normal college student, which is not easy with an Alien Spaceship attached.
I was so glad to meet most of my favorite characters yet again and I so hope there will be a third book in this series.

Not bad, not bad. Doucette still knows how to construct an intriguing alien mystery, and he does an impressively good job of keeping it mysterious despite all the revelations of the previous book.
Unfortunately, it lacks a certain.... call it synchronicity... that the last book had. Keeping the action confined to Sorrow Falls in the previous book lent a tightness to the plot, and it was a genuine question of who would be a survivor and who wouldn't. That's lacking now, and it slows down the story.
Still, a fun read, and I'll be looking for Doucette's other books.
