Took about 50% through for it to pick up and start tying in to the story we know from the first book, but then it was pretty good. Despite primarily following the members of a cult, this book was more grounded and relatable than the first. Answers some questions and raises some more. Successfully dangles the carrot in front of you, egging you on to read more, but not _thrilling_ in my opinion.

One of the best sequels I've ever read. I loved how we got these characters' individual stories but it also merged so well with Oryx and Crake. I thought the ties in with Jimmy were 10/10 and I also really enjoyed the religious element! I think it's so cool how Atwood was able to build a new sect of religion off modern Christianity while in the context of MaddAddam's world and "the flood".
Just as entertaining as the first one, still made some very interesting points about our world but this time I was more focused on the characters. Worth a reread.
