3.0

Built nicely on the premise of the first novella while moving in a new direction. Unfortunately the middle section (about Molly in the psych ward) felt like a lot of wasted space in a story so short.

Really cool sequel.

The development of the molly as an individual was really well done, and the discovery that they did not, in fact, have to kill each other, was devastating. Imagine who they could have all been if they’d discovered that early on.
