Not a surprise, this was another wild ride and I really enjoyed it. Weird, unexplained, wild ride. I dont even know where to begin to express my feelings about this book.

A bit of a tacked-on sequel to an amazing stand-alone novella.
Still. Even if I wasn't a huge fan of this book, the writing itself was still imaginative. He kept a premise that could have burned out in five pages and kept the story moving until the last page. Definitely going to seek out Tade Thompson's other stuff.

In "The Survival of Molly Southbourne" Tade Thompson delivers a captivating sequel that not only builds upon the foundation laid in its predecessor but also delves even deeper into the complexities of identity, survival, and the haunting legacy of Molly Southbourne's existence. With masterful storytelling and a relentless pace, Thompson takes readers on a thrilling journey that is as thought-provoking as it is pulse-pounding.
Thompson's prose remains as sharp and evocative as ever, drawing readers into Molly's world with vivid imagery and spine-tingling suspense. From heart-pounding action sequences to quiet moments of introspection, every page crackles with tension and intrigue, ensuring readers remain on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
One of the sequel's greatest strengths lies in its continued exploration of Molly's character and the moral and existential dilemmas she faces. As she grapples with reconciling her own humanity with the terrifying consequences of her existence, Molly is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about herself and the nature of her reality. These moments of self-discovery lead to profound insights and evoke gut-wrenching emotions, deepening the connection between readers and the protagonist.
