I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first, but the giant bugs were kinda cool... and kinda gross.

Did I mention in my earlier review about not thinking about the science? Well, the same holds here. Enjoy the ride, this time from the city to the farms (through a forest).

Our intrepid heroes are on a quest to bring back gravity while being chased by vested interests who want the status quo. No, there's no conspiracy, it's just all about money.

The group splits up, one heading back to the city to avert an attack while the other heads further out to find the solution for bringing back gravity.

The story is both predictable and yet different enough that it keeps the readers interest. I recommend this series.

Interesting concept and I love Lee's art, but the pacing feels rushed and there is so much to explore here.

The best part about this series is the diverse cast of characters. It brings me so much joy to see an Afro-Latina and a physically handicapped companion (and potential love interest) spearheading this adventure. The art is slick and the zero-g concept is great, too. The plot, though, still hasn't captured me fully. Willa's mission to "save the world" is a bit too generic and I'm hoping for something more complex to come along. The ending of this one promises more emotional turmoil on the horizon so I'm looking forward to the next installment.
