One of my favorite concepts in this book is that the Abrax, which are in the process of evolving into energy beings. aren’t welcoming that change–they believe it’s just another form of death! I don’t think I’ve ever seen this version of events before; always it seems like aliens are gung-ho to turn into energy beings as the next step in their evolution.
Violet comes up with an idea to bring the Alil to Nea, but things get extremely dangerous once the humans figure out how to damage the domes over the Alil cities, and then drop a whole lot of nuclear missiles on those cities. Violet wants it to be as easy as bringing them and asking for asylum, but of course it isn’t that simple. Violet is going to have to find a whole lot of strength inside of her to take chances, maybe make some mistakes, but ultimately save an entire race from extinction.
My only negative is that we really didn’t learn much that was new about Beth. She was a convenient goal for Violet and Marta, but she doesn’t feel like she’s actively a part of this tale.
The ending gave me goose pimples. I love this series so far, and hope there’s a next installment!
