This absolutely fucked. What a great start to the sequel series.
I loved seeing Nine and Malcom at the university and training the younger generation, and I was super surprised to see John so early in the book. I wonder if we'll see anyone else.
Every character we followed was so great. Isabella, Kopano, Nigel, Ran, Taylor, and Caleb were such great characters and I care about each and every one of them. And I love how much of their friendships we get to see develop.
And yeah, yes, okay, I DO want Nigel and Caleb to kiss. Yeah, I do. I think Nigel being Caleb's first friend and Caleb making a sound proof room for Nigel to practice music in were both so incredibly sweet, and I want them to kiss.
I love Nigel and Ran's friendship. I love Ran, Taylor, and Isabella's friendship. I love Kopano and Caleb and Nigel's friendship. They're all great.
Some quotes I liked:
"'I packed your bag for you, Kopano... I did not leave room for your father's wisdom.'" (2:21:52)
"'I think you should practice being the loudest voice in the room. Or at least, being the loudest voice in your own head.'" (7:54:01)
"'Point is, we don't have to fight ugly with ugly. We can be the change we want to see in the world.
Getting the next book from the library right fucking now.
