ibnussabel's review against another edition

Está claro que es la segunda parte de una serie y que es necesario empezar por el primer libro para enter el segundo. Sin embargo, no es más de lo mismo. Expande la trama iniciada en la primera novela en una nueva dirección que sigue siendo totalmente pertinente en el momento que estamos viviendo y, al mismo tiempo, la lectura te atrapa y no te suelta hasta que descubres todo lo que ocurre.
100% would recommend.

I thought Black Swan was kind of boring as a villain but Creel gave me the same vibe as the villains in old silent movies (in all the best ways). Like the first book, though, this one is LONG and I think parts could have been cut or condensed. The world-building is pristine though, and the story, despite its length, carried me along for the ride without too much trouble.
Do I think these two books could probably have been one long book? Definitely yes. But if you like apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic fiction, then these are worth the read.

The man equally needs to open and close a thesaurus.
But despite my criticisms, I really did love these books. I absolutely loved the characters, except the bad ones, lol. And the plot was weird and strange in a way which made it hard to put down. Despite the length, I was invested in these stories. I needed to know how it was going to all end. So, for me at least, I consider that a sign of a damn good book.
