Sequel to a quarantine read! I adored the first book and the second much the same. It took me a while to read this simply because of school, but I really, really love Crier as a character and the way the Automatae were created/exist. It's so seamless and smart and genuinely interesting to me as a reader; not really like anything else I've read before. I am immensely satisfied with the ending. At first I disliked the location of the thing they are seeking in this book, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I did have some issues with pacing--i would have liked just a little bit more, you know? But there are some absolutely beautiful lines from both Crier and Ayla that just too my breath away. I wish I could write with as much poignancy as this author. I would also lay down my life for the side characters, Hook and Erren especially. I highly, highly recommend this duology.
