It's the second book in the series but it's still just as confusing as the first one. However it's still interesting reading experience and I liked how unpredictable the plot was.

5.0

I was worried this sequel wouldn't live up the the first book, which I loved so much. It definitely did and it was so lovely to be back with Breq. The narration style of this book is so well crafted and manages to create mystery and intrigue while also being engaging. One of those books that feels like seating down to a large meal, where you can just dig in and get lost in the world. Very excited for the next in the series.
